    I just wanted to find out whats on the market, what the best kit in terms of price and accuracy.

    Also does anyone rely on petshops to test their water? i think its more reasonable to go the petshop route, what do you guys think?

    For quick tests, use the strips, but cut them lengthways down the middle - two for the price of one :)

    That sounds a bit hectic.

    I'm sure I paid less than R100, because I can't imagine paying more than than for any pieces of paper.
