Product Description

Fast, Simple Water Checks for Biguanide Pool & Spa Systems

The LaMotte Insta-TEST Biguanide Pool & Spa Test Strips provide a quick and easy way to check the key water balance levels that matter most in biguanide-based pool and spa systems. With fast one-dip testing and clear colour development, they help show where your water stands in seconds without complicated equipment or time-consuming testing methods.

Each strip measures biguanide, total alkalinity, pH, and total hardness in one simple test, making Insta-TEST a convenient way to keep key balance levels in check for non-chlorine pool and spa care.

Biguanide System Testing

Made for pools and spas using biguanide-based sanitiser systems rather than standard chlorine testing.

Stable Colour Development

Designed for clear, distinct colour matching with reduced risk of cross-contamination between pads.

Four Key Tests in One

Measures biguanide, alkalinity, pH, and total hardness in one convenient strip.

Durable Packaging

The waterproof PopTop bottle with molded desiccant liner helps protect strips from moisture and UV exposure.

Especially well suited to chlorine-free and bromine-free pool and spa systems such as AquaSpa and AquaFresh, Insta-TEST makes it easy to check the balance factors most often watched in day-to-day water care.

Engineered for Fast, Reliable Water Insights

The Insta-TEST bottle is built for durability and precision, with a waterproof HDPP shell and molded desiccant liner to help guard against moisture, light, and contamination. An airtight seal and durable hinged cap support dependable storage, helping Insta-TEST strips stay protected in real-world conditions.

How to Use

Immerse the test strip in pool or spa water for 2 seconds.
