But are they accurate??? and easy to read???

Sometimes you get what you pay for--

I have no opinion on that brand (but I'm sure someone on here does)...

I was told my the owner that is what he uses and I can say he does I carried water from my tank and that is how I found out about them, he used them to test my water. He said they are very good, had to have them.Patty

yes they also come in test strips I was not able to get any today they were out, but I will. Did a test on my water, with strips and the drops and got the same reading on nitrate,ph, also easy to read took 60 sec. Blessing to you my friend and thanks.
