AC now has an Aquaspin!

I saw that over the weekend, but just in passing. I thought it was some gimick. But for $12 testing, that's something I'd support if it's accurate. I sent water samples to a lab and it was $75. Though the lab did go over the parameters and make recommendations. Next time I go to AC, I'll bring some water for testing.

I mean, OK, you can buy test kits (which you should) but if the machine is consistent, then it's worth it to compare regular interval tests (like once per quarter).

I looked up the machine, and can see why it's $12/test.... pricey software, and single use "disks" that test for 3 parameters only. But again ... cheaper than sending to a lab.

Not sure u can compare this to ICP. I would not send ICP test if what I wanted to test is ph, amonia, alk and ca...

Before you do action based on these results I would double check. I am doubting the results...
