AquaChek 562012 Pro Borate Test Strips (25 Count) – 0 to 80 ppm Borate
The AquaChek 562012 Pro Borate Test Strips make it quick and easy to measure borate levels in pool water. Borates are commonly used as a pH buffer to help reduce pH drift, improve water “feel,” and support clearer water when your pool is properly balanced. These strips are a simple way to confirm your borate level stays in the recommended range after adding a borate product or performing water replacement.

Maintenance Tips
- Store strips cool and dry with the cap tightly closed—humidity can ruin test pads.
- Use clean, dry hands when removing strips; avoid touching the test pad.
- Test water away from return jets for a more representative sample.
- If you make major water changes (drain/refill), re-test borates afterward to confirm your new level.
