Followed directions exactly. Pads still bled into each other.
I got these because the colors on the pads for the usual pool tests are different from the ones on the strips I usually use. I have some difficulty matching the colors on the pads to the reference colors for those strips. I figured it might be easier if the colors were different. I got the strips today and immediately after reading the directions went out to the pool and tried one out. Dipped it for two seconds. Held it horizontal as the directions depicted for 60 seconds. Tried to read it. For most of the test pads the adjacent colors had bled into the pads. Tried again with water in a cup so that I could scrape the excess water off as suggested by the directions. Still too much bleeding to read the pads. I am disappointed and going back to my old test strips.

Bleeds all over, Inaccurate
The colors bleed all over. This test was with tapping them on a napkin to get the excess water off. All three are from the same sample of tap water. Notice that the free chlorine and total chlorine appear to be reversed on the strip.

Not very good
I don’t know if these are accurate or not as I can barely read them. The coloring from one patch immediately bleeds in to those next to it and makes a blended mess that can’t really be distinguished. Disappointed. Love that you can test so much and that salt is one of the measures, but it doesn’t matter much if you can’t read it.

doesn't work
follow instructions, colors of various test pads all bleed into one another and nothing is clear as to what the measures are. had to throw them out.

Colors do not match
Not sure how you could do something wrong - columns difficult to line up - then the colors do not match. Would not buy again.

Great product
Awesome Product! I have been using water test strips for some time now. I like these because we live in the country and use well water. Instead of having to buy separate strips for our aquarium, pool and water softener I was able to use these for all three. Seems to work pretty good.

Don’t bother
I used the product to test the pool and found it wasn’t very accurate when compared to a Taylor titration kit but what is?
