Most accurate liquid ph test kit?

[Soothing Shrimp]

Any opinions as to the most accurate liquid ph test kit?

Hi Soothing Shrimp,

 

I have found the ADA kit to be the most accurate from all I have used

The other brands used were API and Nutrafin.

Thanks for the info Maurice.   ADA ph test kits are hard to come by in the US.

API works well. Seachem has a great line too. They both test the same for me. So that is the only way I can compare them. I don't have a PH meter calibrated to a solution, so it is hard to tell how on they are. They do however give the same exact ph that a lab tested my neighbors well water at. I tested their water to compare.

It is the same one that comes with their drop checker.  you can get it separately as well.  Aqua Forest carries them

I got the Elos kit once. Pricey and not a big improvement over API - I have more trouble with liquid colorimetric tests than dry ones. I always get colors that don't look like anything printed on the card. I need to check my probe or I'd check them all against each other.

I bought the ADA test kit.  We'll see how well it works.

 

I'm just tired of my pinpoint right now.  Calibrations, solutions, life of probes, etc.

^-^ That would be why my primary mode of testing is dip sticks. They are easy to use, easy to read, and have never given me a problem.
