Maintaining Spa Water Chemistry Tools

I’ve been noticing discrepancies in my spa water chemistry readings lately, which made me rethink my maintenance routine for the testing kits. Keeping them calibrated and replacing reagents regularly is crucial, but I’d love to hear what others do to ensure accuracy over time. Have you found any specific maintenance schedules or tools that have helped you keep everything in check?

I’ve found that storing my test strips in a cool, dry place really helps extend their lifespan — kind of like how we shouldn’t leave our leftovers in the sun! A little routine goes a long way; I check mine every month to keep things accurate… How often do you replace your reagents?
