must have if your serious about ph levelsAug 13, 2009
By david
if your growing plants. then one of these is very handy. i ordered 5. and according to professional growers. ph test kits such as these are very suggested because they are very accurated. although expensive ph meter/ or test pens are also good, they are expensive around 80 and you can use it for a certain amount of times then you have to calibrate it again to increase the potency in accuracy. I avoid doing that because a good digital ph is like 80+ and plus the calibration to calibrate it back to default is extra. so i purchased 5 of these to get free shipping and got it. and each pack works for 250 times or 250 tests. so this is definitely a good deal to get. before you order make sure you find out the ph level you need to achieve for either your plants or fish tanks. instructions seems tricky at first but look at the same card. fill water till line. 3 drops. shake it up. and match colors. <4 simple rules. make sure to follow it. and this only tests from ph 6.0 to 7.6 so if you need a different ph number than those then check out some other products. cause this only one does 6.0 - 7.6.

 Decent for Mid-Range ReadingsAug 26, 2011
By Hopelessly Caffeinated in Phoenix
I got this to test my pH while setting up a freshwater tank. Where I live, the water is quite hard, so I knew some adjustments would be needed. This is a very simple to use kit and the laminated card that tells you the explanation of the test result colors is great. However, because it only goes up to 7.5, I had to do a lot of guesswork to get my tank down to those levels. The color stays the same until the pH falls down to the levels this kit is designed for - not a design flaw at all, but it isn't the most effective kit when you live in a hard water area. I suspect the same would be the case if you live somewhere with very soft water, too.

The API pH test kit is simple, accurate, and easy to use. I have played around with it in measuring my pH, but what I really use it for is my drop checker to measure Co2 along with 4dkh H20. Works well. Not much else to say.
wrong item sentMay 06, 2012
By kosolutions
they sent me the wrong product but I was able to mail it back for a refund. I ordered a freshwater ph test kit and I got a fw/sw high range test kit. The freshwater ph test is is awesome and now I have to order one again. I did not use the fw/sw ph test kit as it is not accurate enough for my tests.
Easy to useMar 28, 2012
By C. Morris
I don't have multitudes of pH testers around to attest to the accuracy, but it never gives me readings that seem off. It's easy and fast. I'm so used to my ammonia tester (that I use more often) that requires 5 minutes of waiting, it's nice to just put the water in, put the drops in, shake, and see what the water's at. This hasn't changed my life or anything, but it's everything that I wanted in a pH test kit.
