Why Pool Pros Trust This

Benefits & What Makes It Different

Six Tests in One Strip

Reads free chlorine, bromine, pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid (stabilizer) simultaneously.

30-Second Turnaround

Dip for two seconds, hold level for 15 seconds, and match against the printed color blocks for instant water data.

Moisture-Sealed Storage

The tightly sealed bottle maintains reagent accuracy and prevents pad degradation for up to six months after opening.

Compatibility

  • Compatible with all chlorine and bromine sanitized residential pools and spas
  • Universal application across plaster, fiberglass, and vinyl pool surfaces of any gallon size

When To Use This

Routine bi-weekly pool water sanitization and balance checksMonitoring cyanuric acid stabilizer levels before seasonal top-offsConfirming sanitizer balance in bromine or chlorine spas and pools

Pro Tip

Never shake off excess water after dipping the strip; hold it horizontally with pads facing up for 15 seconds so reagents do not bleed into adjacent pads.

Common Questions & Instructions

How often should I use Poolife 6-Way Test Strips?

Test your pool water 2 to 3 times per week during swimming season. Routine testing ensures free chlorine and pH remain balanced before problems like algae or cloudiness develop.

How do I know if my test strips have gone bad?

Discard the strips if the pads show uneven pre-discoloration before dipping, if moisture got into the container causing pads to stick, or if the bottle has been open past six months.

How many bottles of test strips do I need for a full season?

A typical 50-strip bottle covers roughly 16 to 25 weeks of regular testing at 2 to 3 dips per week, meaning most pool owners go through one to two bottles per swim season.
