Industrial Test Systems eXact iDip Photometer 486101-KP-K Pool Starter Kit with Meter

This kit is phenomenal! I researched many products before I settled on this one. I was tired of crushing tablets, counting drops, and TRYING to match colors on different tests. Yes, it is on the pricey end, but this is a prime example of you get what you pay for. Testing(free chlorine) took about 45 seconds, which included connecting to the app, getting the strip, and dipping for 20 seconds. The app is informative and helps with troubleshooting as well.

This kit is a real joke. First of all, you have to purchase most of the "algorithms" and then when I tested the PH, it just said "LO." No PH reading at all. So I thought that if I spent $8.99 to get the "pool bundle" perhaps it would actually give me the real PH reading. But no, when I tested the PH again (ten minutes after the first time) it said PH HI. Total joke. When it comes to testing hardness, you need to be a chemist to figure out whether you need to purchase the Calcium Bundle (which I did at $4.99), but it never showed up in the list of tests. Then I purchased the Calcium algorithm (another $4.99), and then I purchased the Hardness, High Total ($4.99) and then the Hardness, Low Total ($4.99) - and I have no clue which one of all these actually tests the water hardness. The Total hardness High said "HI ppm" and the Total Hardness Low said "HI ppm" and the Calcium said 33 ppm, which is only off by about 700 ppm. There are no instructions, no information and the cost for the kit is hundreds of dollars, followed by an additionally wasted $30 or more for algorithms that give you no facts - just "HI" or "LO" which gives you absolutely nothing to work with, at all.

no. it's no different then the actually strips.you test the water for ph put a strip in and stir it. and then when the strips end you have to buy more strips.you also have to buy apps to open up for testing other areas of the water. PH and alkaline are included there after you have to buy them.I was not at all impressed and returned the product back

Great product. Good quality.

We are now purchasing a 3rd kit as our 1 man company has grown to 3 men. After comparing results with Taylor kits and professional pool store testing, we have found the results to be spot on.Our customers LOVE receiving the weekly digital reports via email, along with a snapshot of their pool at the time of service, as well as a report of what work was done and what chemicals were added. This serves as our “door hanger” letting the customer know we were there, but is much more detailed, personalized, and professional.As already stated, our customers love it and so do we.

We just moved into a new home with an inground pool, and needed to purchase the right tools to maintain in. I went to a local pool store which recommended this company to me. I initially was using the test strips before I found this beauty. There are just so many things I love about this kit. The case is rugged and makes it so easy to carry around. The bluetooth and app are by far my favorite features. I love that is stores all the readings. Tests are easy and mess free.
