Leisure Time® Chlorine & Bromine Test Strips - 50 Count

Frequently Asked Questions

• How often should I test my hot tub water with these strips?
  We recommend testing your spa water 2-3 times per week under normal use. Test more frequently after adding chemicals, after heavy use, or if you notice any water quality issues. Always test before entering your spa to ensure safe sanitizer levels.
• Can I use these strips for both chlorine and bromine systems?
  Yes! Leisure Time Chlorine & Bromine Test Strips are designed to work with both sanitizing systems. The strip will measure free chlorine if you use chlorine, or total bromine if you use bromine. Simply match the color pad to the appropriate chart on the bottle.
• How should I store my test strips?
  Store your test strips in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the cap tightly sealed after each use. Avoid storing them in your hot tub cabinet if it's exposed to high humidity, as moisture can affect the strips' accuracy. Properly stored strips typically remain accurate until the expiration date on the bottle.
• What's the ideal chlorine or bromine level for my hot tub?
  For chlorine systems, maintain 3-5 ppm (parts per million). For bromine systems, maintain 4-6 ppm. These ranges provide effective sanitization while remaining comfortable for bathers. If your levels fall outside these ranges, adjust accordingly using your preferred sanitizer.
• Do these strips test for anything besides chlorine and bromine?
  These specific Leisure Time strips are designed to test chlorine and bromine levels only.
• How long do test strips last once opened?
  When stored properly in a cool, dry location with the cap tightly sealed, Leisure Time test strips typically remain accurate for 1-2 years. Check the expiration date on your bottle. If strips appear discolored or don't produce clear color changes, it's time to replace them.
