My new pool came with a free (but small) supply of test strips, and I've just used them up.
I've kind of skimmed through some articles on this forum, and I'm getting the impression that test strips are not advised. Am I inferring this correctly? I ask, because I find the strips easy and quick to use, whereas beakers and drops take longer and are more tedious.
So my question is, are there simply no convenient test strips out there, that this forum recommends? If you say the answer is no, and that the extra work of doing dripping and mixing is worth it, then I'll go ahead and get that type of test kit, but I wanted to double check first to see if anybody recommends any type of test strips in lieu of that.
