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.
