Much better than the cheap brands. - These are great test strips. They are more expensive, but worth the extra. These are far superior to some of the cheap brands which I had found to be very unreliable (completely wrong!). I had previously brought some cheap test strips on eBay, and ended up using a lot of chemicals unnecessarily, trying to correct a problem which didn't exist. LaMotte are a proper company who specialise in water test equipment, so I trust these and have found them to be very reliable so far. The moral of the story is don't try to save a few pounds by using cheap test strips, as it could cost you a lot more in wasted chemicals, and time spent trying to put things right again. Just buy some good quality test strips (like these), and get it right first time, so you can enjoy your pool! Review: Perfect for the job - Easy to use and very accurate ## Features - Compare the strip to the colour chart & top up accordingly - Tests chlorine, bromine, alkalinity, pH & total hardness levels - Knowing what your water needs has never been easier! - The colour chart tells you which chemicals to add ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005KJI79C | | Best Sellers Rank | 41,257 in Garden ( See Top 100 in Garden ) 86 in Pool & Hot Tub Testers | | Brand | LaMotte | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,700) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00637395446122 | | Manufacturer | Insta-Test | | Manufacturer Part Number | 3029_SML | | Material Type | reactive substrate" gold "NO | | Model Number | 3029 | | Recommended Uses For Product | testing and maintaining water chemistry in pools spas | | Sterility Rating | 6.2-8.4 | | UPC | 140106200369 637395431319 637395446122 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** LaMotte - **Manufacturer:** Insta-Test - **Recommended uses for product:** testing and maintaining water chemistry in pools spas - **UPC:** 140106200369 637395431319 637395446122 - **pH range:** 6.2-8.4 ## Images ![Insta-Test 4 Plus, Free Chlorine, Bromine, Alkalinity, pH, Total Hardness Testing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WaRofIpLL.jpg) ![Insta-Test 4 Plus, Free Chlorine, Bromine, Alkalinity, pH, Total Hardness Testing - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aPfjeH7nL.jpg) ![Insta-Test 4 Plus, Free Chlorine, Bromine, Alkalinity, pH, Total Hardness Testing - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JQC6e3zPL.jpg) ![Insta-Test 4 Plus, Free Chlorine, Bromine, Alkalinity, pH, Total Hardness Testing - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EE3ATZmgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great test strips.
