Ditch Single-Use Test Strips
Many people use test strips for checking the quality of their hot tub water. Although these give a quick result did you know that a lot of them are plastic based? In the day when it is generally considered that we should be reducing the amount of single use plastics are test strips the most environmentally friendly?
Although the Lovibond Pool / Hot Tub test kits are based around using a plastic block it can be used for many years. The used tablet reagents are harmless and can be flushed to drain and all other materials are recyclable therefore making the whole method greener. As climate change becomes a concern a small change could make all the difference.
Test Kits v Test Strips
Water needs to be tested and test papers are quick and seem to be easy to use but are they really the best option?
The advantages of tablet kits:
- Tablets individually wrapped so first test as good as the last
- Easy to use
- Easy to read
- Use the same test methods as the professionals
Disadvantages to Test Strips:
- Prone to spoilage from moisture and direct sun light
- Not as accurate as tablet kits
- Easily contaminated
- Can be hard to compare with colour chart
