Good to know. Some of the hot tub vendors who have contacted us over the years recommend the 400ppm hydrogen peroxide strips. Both are effective but outdoor hot tubs may be more susceptible to windblown algae as well as H2O2 breakdown due to sunlight.

Product works good, price seems reasonable.
However, they didn't do what they said they would do for shipping. The site said orders before 11am shipped same day. My order was after 11am but, i felt it should be shipped next day which did not happen. It was handled as an order that came in after 11am the next day & then there was one more extra day delay for 'power outage'...disappointing!

Very fast shipping, good order accuracy. The test strips are a cost effective way to accurately manage residual H2O2 levels.
