water guru

[prasadkm0204]

I want to share my experience of using water guru over the last 11 days.
I am happy to say that the readings have been spot on with my tft kit ( and with the readings of my pool startup service guy).

I initially came across phin (given their good marketing) but after reading mixed reviews and about ORP, I ended up going with water guru ( mostly given the +ve reviews from TFP readers).
I would rather have 2 things measured correctly instead of 5 things not being accurate.
I would still like to know about sutro but there are limited reviews and its 3 times the monthly price.

Thanks to everyone on the site who posted about water guru. I probably wouldn't have heard about it otherwise.

PS: I do not have any affiliations with water guru.

Does it use strips to test? I looked at the cartridges and it said strips..

I am not an expert but you are probably right. I went by with the feedback of the other members on the forum.

I am checking the results of water guru with tft-100, and its right on the spot everyday.

I've had the guru for almost a year now. It works really well. I trust it so much I only test by hand on the weekends now. The free water testing through the mail isn't bad either, but i've found those numbers don't seem to work out. I think sending them in the mail might affect the results, or I suck at testing.

Their support is non-existent. I sent the water sample on Feb 26th and till date I have no update on that.
Where do you see that on their app. It's not a deal breaker since I test on my own but would be good to validate it with another source.

I have emailed them ( and no one picks up the phone call).

The results though are still on dot.

Yeah it's not fast takes a long time. Eventually after what i'd say is a week or two it will show up here in the app. Tap on what I circled in red.

Exactly what water parameters does the Guru measure? Is it just chlorine and PH, or does it test for more than just chlorine and ph? I am asking because I am thinking about getting it.

Thanks

I guess it is good to know what the results used to be. It is handy to know what you should have done. But that seems less than helpful when trying to be proactive.

just chlorine and ph. after using it for few months, it has made my life definitely easier considering i have a pool cover.

Worst money I ever spent. It provided good info for about 2 months then I find out I have to replace the cassette every 2 months, additional $100 a year. It hasn't worked since to a level that I can trust it after I replaced the cassette. Now after 3 months it can't find any wifi. Piece of junk.

My device stopped working recently. I contacted support and they sent me a new one.

Mine was working great for months and just stopped reporting results. I just sent an email to support.

Looking at this, but seems to have quite a few negative reviews. Taking readings in a skimmer full of leaves seems it would be fairly inaccurate. Only looking because I saw $175 off deal on FB, I assume making it $150. Still seems very high considering you need to keep buying cartridges. Think I'll stick with $50 TFtestkit refills.

 

[thegizzard]

Believe it or not it is pretty accurate. I’ve done many side by side tests with Taylor test kits. The problem seems to be reliability. I have a replacement on the way, so we will see.
