AquaChek Trutest Digital Test Strip Reader
Product Overview
Eliminates color-matching guesswork by converting strip reflectance into precise numeric values in 15 seconds.
Engineered by AquaChek, the TruTest digital reader eliminates color-matching uncertainty by reading optical reflectance across three parameters: Free Chlorine (0–10 ppm), pH (6.2–8.4), and Total Alkalinity (0–300 ppm). Results display on an LCD screen in 15 seconds, supported by an internal 9-test memory log. It operates on 2 AA batteries and pairs with AquaChek TruTest refill strips.

Benefits & What Makes It Different
Numeric LCD Readout
Translates strip pads into direct digital values for Free Chlorine (0–10 ppm), pH (6.2–8.4), and Total Alkalinity (0–300 ppm).
15-Second Test Cycle
A single dip and placement onto the optical sensor delivers stable, calibrated readings in approximately 15 seconds.
9-Reading Memory Bank
Stores the last 9 chemical test cycles automatically to help track chlorine drop and pH drift over 1 to 2 weeks.
Compatibility
- AquaChek TruTest digital test strip refills (50-count bottles)
- Chlorine and bromine treated residential pools and spas
When To Use This
Pro Tip
Keep the optical sensor window dry between tests; blot excess water off the back of the strip on a clean paper towel before setting it into the reading channel.
Common Questions & Instructions
How accurate is the AquaChek TruTest digital reader compared to manual color matching?
The TruTest reader measures light reflectance from the strip pads and delivers numerical values: Free Chlorine from 0 to 10 ppm, pH from 6.2 to 8.4, and Total Alkalinity from 0 to 300 ppm. This removes subjective color perception under shifting outdoor sunlight.
Which test strips work with the AquaChek TruTest digital reader?
It requires AquaChek TruTest digital test strip refills (part 2510400). Standard manual test strips do not match the exact pad spacing required by the reader's optical sensor channel.
How many test strips will a pool owner need for a typical season?
Testing 2 to 3 times per week consumes 8 to 12 strips per month. A single 50-strip bottle lasts approximately 16 to 25 weeks, which covers an average 4 to 6 month outdoor swimming season.
