Troubleshooting

Test strip colors are difficult to read.

Ensure you are testing in good lighting and compare the strip to the color chart quickly before the colors fade. Make sure the test strips are not expired.

Results seem inconsistent.

Double-check the testing procedure. Ensure the strip is dipped in the water sample for the correct amount of time. Also, confirm the test strips are not expired, and you're reading the results correctly.
