Watersafe Bacteria Test Strips detect
bacteria in spas and swimming pools in less than 20 minutes!
This simple on-site procedure requires no instrumentation or user training, and has all the accuracy and reliability of a lab test in a disposable test strip. Now there's a reliable and inexpensive way to check to see if your spa or pool is properly sanitized.
High bather loads demand frequent testing... The higher the bather load, the faster pool and spa disinfectant levels dissipate and become ineffective. High bather load also contributes to a higher than normal likelihood of someone introducing potentially dangerous bacteria into the water. With more people in the water and sanitizer dissipating at a high rate, vulnerability to bacterial contamination is high. This is especially true if bathers urinate in the water (as even the best-behaved children often do!)
Test your spa... Hot tubs are often vulnerable for contamination. A heated spa is the ideal location for bacteria to not only live, but thrive and spread even faster than in a pool. Because of the spa's limited water volume, even a small amount of bacteria can produce a large outbreak.
Product notes: A single Watersafe Bacteria Test retails elsewhere for about $4 (if you can even find it). The Spa Depot's 10-pack is a much better buy, saving you about half the cost.
