Where do you buy your Borate/Borax test strips?

[cword]

Just wondering where to buy these? Hopefully I won't have to go to a pool store to get them? Walmart, Home depot, Lowes....... anyone like that have them? I am adding Borax to new pool and need to check my levels. Thanks in advance!

You'll probably have to get them online. Aquacheck is the brand, and you can just Google Aquacheck Borate Test Strips to find suppliers.

I have seen several here use LaMotte test strips for borates:

I recently purchased them here:

if you're in the Dallas/Plano area in texas we have a shop that carries them...1 stop pool store...I think they were 8.99.

The LaMotte strips seem to be noticeably easier to read. The AquaChek strips are usually much easier to find.
