What is the best current (May 2021) borate test?

[Ronald U.]

Greetings. Its been some years since I bought LaMotte borate strips. Just now running out. What is the best current suggestion for borate testing? Thank you as always. PS- as soon as my pool breaks the 80 degree mark, I'll jump in. Currently 76 degrees, too chilly for me.

Taylor test kit reagents are the gold standard, IMO. I looked on the Taylor site and see these-

I have the Taylor strips - seems to get me where i need to go. They’re not something i check & add real often. Somewhere in the ballpark of 30-50ppm accomplishes my goal. Maybe once or twice a season in the pool. In the hot tub I really have no need to check. I just add the 50ppm per PoolMath upon each fresh fill & carry on.
