These strips can test for seven parameters, including total alkalinity, cyanuric acid, pH, free chlorine, bromine, total chlorine, and total hardness.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07PFCV894\/?tag=poolinsider-20\" rel=\"nofollow\">JNW strips<\/a> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are very easy to use with simple and clear instructions. Plus, they provide instant, reliable results that you can compare to the color chart present on the table. To make things easier, the ideal range of the chemicals is also marked on the bottle.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing we really like about these strips is that they come with a free mobile application that you can use to record and track the results with maximum precision. The app is available for both Android and iOS devices.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from the 100 strips, you also get a free ebook that includes an in-depth explanation of what the results mean and how you ensure your pool water stays clean and healthy throughout the year.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can use these strips for hot
