Hach AquaChek 4-in-1 Pool & Spa Test Strips – Accurate Water Testing Made Easy
Reliable Pool & Spa Water Testing in Seconds
Keeping your pool or spa water clean, clear, and perfectly balanced doesn’t have to be complicated. With Hach AquaChek 4-in-1 Test Strips, you can test the four most critical water parameters in just a few seconds, ensuring your pool is safe, healthy, and ready for swimming. Designed specifically for chlorine-treated pools and spas, these strips take the guesswork out of water care, giving you quick, accurate results without the hassle of complex liquid kits.
Whether you’re a homeowner managing your backyard pool, a spa owner wanting to keep water soothing and comfortable, or a professional pool operator maintaining commercial water systems, AquaChek is the trusted name in pool and spa testing.
Why Choose AquaChek 4-in-1 Test Strips?
Water quality is everything when it comes to pools and spas. Poorly balanced water not only shortens the lifespan of your equipment but can also cause skin irritation, eye discomfort, and cloudy, uninviting water. The Hach AquaChek 4-in-1 is engineered to simplify this process by measuring the four most important parameters:
-
Free Chlorine – Confirms sanitizing power is strong enough to kill bacteria and algae.
-
pH Levels – Ensures water is comfortable for swimmers and protects equipment.
-
Total Alkalinity – Stabilizes pH to prevent spikes and imbalances.
-
Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer) – Monitors chlorine protection against sunlight breakdown.
By testing all four in a single strip, you save time, reduce costs, and eliminate confusion.
Easy, Fast & Accurate Testing
-
Dip & Remove – Simply dip the strip into your pool or spa water for just 1 second.
-
Wait 15 Seconds – Allow the strip to react and develop.
-
Compare Colors – Match the strip against the easy-to-read color chart on the bottle.
That’s it. No messy reagents, no drop counting, and no special equipment. Just fast, reliable results you can trust.

Extend the Life of Your Pool & Equipment
Consistently balanced water protects your pool plaster, liners, heaters, and pumps from damage. Low pH can corrode metal parts, while high alkalinity can leave behind stubborn scale. Chlorine levels that are too low invite algae growth, while too high can irritate skin. With AquaChek 4-in-1, you’ll catch imbalances early, saving money on repairs, chemical overuse, and unnecessary clean-ups.
Perfect for Chlorine Pools & Spas
The Hach AquaChek 4-in-1 is specifically designed for pools and spas that use chlorine as their sanitizer. If you’re using bromine, saltwater chlorinators, or other sanitizing methods, Hach offers specialized test strips—but for traditional chlorine systems, this is the go-to choice.
