How cool is this? An iPhone app that works with your swimming pool test strips to help you determine what your pool needs. Sometimes I sit back and think, one day we will be able to dunk our iPhones into the pool and they will test the water. Until that day, we have the next best thing. The app is only $2.99, and if you have trouble using test strips, or you just want to make life easier (and you know I do), then take the plunge and get this app.
(On a side note: I have nothing to do with this product. I found it on iTunes and thought it was cool)
Description
Face it maintaining your pool chemistry can be a daunting task. Liquid water tests are messy and complicated. You need to fill the the vile, count the drops, swirl… wait to see if the color changes, wonder how much it should change, try to remember how many drops you put in… look for something to write down how many drops! It can be a real pain!
Thankfully modern science has brought us great products like AquaChek Test Strips. Simply remove the strip from the bottle, Dip it in your pool for a few seconds and wala! The little pads on the strip react with your water and change color. But now what? Your standing there holding that little strip with it’s now colorful pads that mean absolutely nothing to you. But wait, right there on the back of that bottle that the strips came in there is a chart you can use to match your meaningless colors to numbers which probably mean even less to you!
Now you have to find the manual, and a calculator, then using the cryptic chemical charts try to figure out what you need to add to the pool so the kids can swim again! Still you wont know how to add the chemicals and in what order to add them.
There is no question that test strips are quicker and easier then liquid water tests. Neither do more then give you the hard numbers, when all you really want is Directions!
That’s where Strip Ease comes in! Dip your strip then match the pads to the pads on your iPhone or iPod touch, hit Calculate and instantly you have a set of step by step directions on what you need to do before the kids can get swimming again!
