pH Test Strips 1-14, 2 Pack (160 Strips) Litmus Paper Water Testing Kit for Pool, Soil, Aquarium, Spa, Drinking Water, Urine & Saliva pH Indicator

Cheap and cheerful. Perhaps not the best quality but when all you do is take a strip, test and chuck it in the bin does it really matter? Seem accurate enough for broad range testing. Not the best if you are trying to pick up small variations but if that's what your looking for you should probably be buying strips specifically designed for a narrow range or just get a digital meter. Overall very happy for the price. Would buy again although 320 strips will keep me going for a while!

Bought these PH test paper slithers after looking long and hard at alternative possibilities. Alternitives being electronic testers up to £200 as I wished to have something reliable. Tested papers first on distilled water 7, acidic apple vinegar 4, and bleach 11. Also baking powder PH was 10. It should be around 8, however the one I tested perhaps had another additive. Paper matched fairly near with colour chart. If you want to identify PH levels within 1/2 a PH level on the colour chart, then don't waste your money on expensive electrical testers which can tend to not be very reliable. This is an excellent product which gives reliable results within seconds. It may be the cheapest on the market however gives a pretty accurate idea of level before and after when trying to increase or decrease PH in various liquids. Soil has to be wet enough. Tried it on one damp sample and paper didn't change colour showing PH being 6 which I don't know if it is correct or not. More testing would need to be done with known PH soil levels Dislikes. Papers tend to stick together a little so need thin knife to prise them apart. This is no big deal. Papers have to be stored in dark place as paper is light sensitive.

Bought to test the PH in a fish pond. Appeared to work well and provide relatively accurate results. Would buy again, but I think 320 strips will last me for several years. Overall, that many strips for under £4 is not a bad deal.

Good value test strips for our pond water, easy to use and store.

Unfortunately the strip cannot perform as what it should- testing PH. I put it in the water which should change color to visible green but it's just stay yellow and getting wet. I observe a bit longer but the color is still unchanged. Quality is not good and not worth the money.

These are good for general PH testing, but not great for Mead and wine PH testing as they are not quite accurate enough in the 3-5 PH range used most. Mostly use these for testing my sanitiser fluid and the general PH of the water I am using. They are easy enough to use, but as I said for the accuracy I need the difference in colours are not ideal.

Hi Mr Fix here Just taken delivery of my PH paper. The paper is colour coordinated & numbed Ph1- 14 . No chart explanation of what each of the coloured segments mean is supplied ( though it says it does ). So I went on to Wiki How where I was able to get the full information . Just to aliterate a coloured chart with numbers doesn’t represent a guide unless you have a spirit guide of your own , failing that you could always work on the theory 1 is bad , 2 is better 3 is good & 14 is Dreadful . However 7 is the best setting for fish apparently as they can thrive in water with PH7 . If you need to reduce the PH all you need to do this is put some Lobster shells in a plastic string bag & hag them in the pond ( no joke ) this will lower the PH level naturally . MR Fix

I have had numerous pH meters for testing soil in the past and none have really worked, not even if I dunked them in vinegar. This is so simple, cheap and accurate, why did I ever bother with a meter! I planted a new plant in a pot a while ago. Later I found out that it should be in ericaceous soil but couldn't remember if I had done this or not. So simple to check with a little soil mixed in water. And, yes, I did test it in vinegar and it instantly changed colour!
