About AquaChek 641426E Test Strip
The AquaChek Nitrate Pink Test Strips (Model 641426E) provide pool owners and professionals with a fast, reliable solution for detecting elevated nitrate and nitrite levels that can sabotage pool water quality. These specialty test strips deliver accurate readings in just 60 seconds, measuring nitrate levels from 0-50 ppm and nitrite levels from 0-3.0 ppm. When nitrate and nitrite concentrations become excessive—often from sources like bird droppings, lightning, or fertilizer runoff—they create an ideal environment for uncontrollable algae blooms while simultaneously depleting chlorine effectiveness, making these strips an essential diagnostic tool for resolving persistent pool problems.
Each bottle contains 25 individual test strips designed for simple dip-and-read operation, requiring no special equipment or technical expertise. The straightforward testing process involves dipping the strip for one second, waiting 30 seconds to read nitrite levels, then comparing nitrate results at the 60-second mark against the color-coded chart. Pool professionals particularly value these strips as the "X-factor" when troubleshooting difficult water chemistry issues, as elevated nitrate and nitrite levels are often the hidden culprit behind chlorine resistance and recurring algae outbreaks that standard testing methods fail to identify.
