COMPATIBILITY
Recommended Applications
The Sensafe 480005 test strips work with any water source including swimming pools, spas, hot tubs, drinking water systems, reverse osmosis setups, aquariums, and hydroponics. The dual-pad design is ideal for pool and spa maintenance where both pH balance and alkalinity buffering must be monitored regularly. These strips replace traditional drop test kits from brands like Taylor and LaMotte, offering faster results without chemical mixing or glassware.
🔧 Pro tip: Store the bottle in a cool, dry location with the cap tightly sealed. Handle strips only by the end without test pads, and never dip a used strip back into your water sample as contamination will affect your readings.
