Are these test strips good for outdoor ponds also?

Yes. Any water. Strips are not as accurate as master test kits but are good enough to see if you have a problem. Much easier

AsxI have only uaed them in aquariums, woukd suggest you call Tetra at 1-800-423-6458. That the number they list on the container as " Help you care for you fish"

Yes, I used mine outside at Halloween, and plan to use it in my pond this summer. Check to see what the manufacturer says, but I recall it was ok outside.

I would definitely use a cup. I use those bathroom water cups you can buy like 200 of for a few dollars. The test strip is quite small, only has a small area that should be immersed for 3 seconds, and has another area which is not supposed to become wet.

I have an outdoor 100 gal fish pond and I have no algea so I would say yes.

Yes, worked very well on a pond I have that was overrun with them. Only complaint I have was the supplied rope which wore out after the first days use. I replaced it with a more durable rope which works perfectly.

These tabs should work as a salt-water pool generates chlorine by breaking down sodium chloride into chlorine. You still need to measure PH, Alkalinity, etc. so I don't see why these would not do just fine.

I always use them right after. I collect my urine in a disposable cup and use the test strips right away. It always works for me. Hope this helps!

I did not have any strips in my kit. I purchased them separately. BTW, I really like this tester. Easy to use, small sample and the reports it generate are excellent.

Not that I have seen on the meter itself. The test strips used in the meter do.

Not total sure, I know I have 3 different machine here at my plant - each one requires there own test strips. I know there was a couple different number of machines for this brand that take these strips.

Gosh I add salt to my pond when I need to and stil use this test kit for the other tests I keep an eye on through out the summer. I hope this helps!

Yes. These can be used in saltwater pools, for a consistent reading on cyanuric acid, the ph and total alkalinity must be within range though

Yes, I have used it in my hot tub for months (I don't keep it in the tub, but use it every few days to check the PH..seems to match the strips fairly well)

I just ordered another kit. I would always test from the tap and not the filters. these tests are inexpensive enough that I test fairly frequently.

No strips, just the testing vials and drops. I use it to verify strip accuracy.

Probably not. The levels of chlorine in drinking water should be well below the detection range of the strips. If you can get a reading with these strips for anything other than pH with drinking water, then you have very hard, over chlorinated, questionably safe drinking water...

If test strips are not exposed to extreme temperatures (greater than 100F. or 38 C.) they should be good for long after the expiration date. I have used strips several years out of date with no problems, but remember accuracy even with brand new strips is +/- 20%!
