In Canada I get the strips at Wal-Mart (often on for 9.97) a bottle. Also they carry them at Canadian Tire and Home Hardware during the spring and summer. In other seasons I would go to your local spa dealer.

How to test for chlorine in water?

To test for chlorine in water, you can use chlorine test strips or a chlorine test kit. Follow the instructions provided with the strips or kit to collect a water sample and perform the test. The test will indicate the presence and concentration of chlorine in the water.


Have you ever used drinking water chlorine test strips to ensure the safety of your water supply?

No, I have not used drinking water chlorine test strips to ensure the safety of my water supply.


How can I ensure the safety of my drinking water using chlorine test strips?

To ensure the safety of your drinking water using chlorine test strips, follow these steps: Dip the test strip into the water sample for a few seconds. Compare the color change on the strip to the provided chart to determine the chlorine level. Ensure the chlorine level falls within the recommended range for safe drinking water. If the chlorine level is too low, consider adding more chlorine to disinfect the water. Regularly test your water to maintain safe chlorine levels.


Can you use a chlorine test strip to test the acidity in your spit?

No, chlorine test strips are designed to measure the concentration of chlorine (such as in a swimming pool). To test the acidity in your saliva, you would need to use a pH test strip specifically designed for measuring pH levels.


How would you test for chlorine?

You'll need a test kit or test strips. OTO drops (turn yellow) are available cheaply at places like Walmart, and provides a reliable and fairly easy to read test. Test strips use a chemical, syringaldazine, that turns bluish. This is also a reliable test for chlorine, but is not quite as easy to read. Also, the other parts of pool test strips, especially the alkalinity and stabilizer pads are NOT reliable. DPD tablets turn pink in the presence of chlorine. They are pretty easy to read, and very reliable for levels of chlorine less than 10 ppm. Above 10, they can 'bleach' out, and read zero, even though the chlorine is very high. DPD-FAS turns pink when chlorine is tested, and then back to clear as the FAS is drop-counted it. It is the most reliable and accurate method, but also more expensive and 'fiddly'. For starters, I'd recommend OTO drops. Pool store types will tell you that OTO doesn't distinguish "Free" and "Total" chlorine, which is true. But, unless you add a bunch of cheap algicide, or something like "Yellow Out", OR let your chlorine levels yo-yo around . . . it doesn't matter on outdoor pools. If you do have "Total chlorine" or, really, "Combined chlorine", simply maintaining a good constant chlorine level for several days will make it 'go away', at least on outdoor pools.

Can pool test strips be used in salt water and chlorine pools?

Yes, pool test strips can be used in both salt water and chlorine pools. However, it's important to choose test strips specifically designed for the type of pool you have, as the chemical compositions can differ. While most strips will measure chlorine levels accurately, saltwater pools may require strips that also test for salt levels. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for best results.


How do you test the amount of chlorine in your pool?

You have plenty of options ranging from inexpensive Test Kits and Test Strips through relatively expensive test kits. I recommend what is known as a 4-in-1 Test Kit - which includes tests for chlorine, pH, Acid demand and Total Alkalinity. Not expensive, available at any Pool Shop or harware store (Ace, Home Depot etc). One brand is All-Clear. I believe this type of Test Kit to be more reliable than Test Strips, although the strips are inexpensive and very convenient. Chlorine tests are essential for monitoring chlorine levels - whether chlorine is added manually or automatically with a saline (salt-water) system.

What do pool strips test for?

MANY different things. The standard set of strips test for: Chlorine levels Alkalinity levels (pH) Acidity levels (pH) Stabiliser Salinity levels (if testing in salt water chlorinated pools)
