“Very disappointed with this kit. When I ordered it, the web page photo indicated it was Magnor brand, which I've used before. When it arrived, it was a different brand. I contacted DPS, and they said they don't stock the Magnor brand any more, and I could have the existing kit for half price. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
They have since changed their web page to reflect the Aussie Gold brand they supply.
However, the test kit is inferior to the Magnor brand. The total alkalinity test does not work ... it doesn't indicate a colour when used as directed. It goes clear when the coloured drops are added, meaning I can't get an alkalinity reading to show if I need to add bi-carb.
I don't recomment the Aussie Gold brand test kit.”
Dear Anthony,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the mix-up regarding the brand of the test kit and the subsequent inconvenience it caused. We appreciate your understanding in accepting the current kit at a discounted price, even though it seems it did not meet your expectations.
We strive to provide quality products, and it's disappointing to hear that the Aussie Gold test kit did not perform to the standards you were accustomed to with Magnor.
Thank you once again for your feedback.
Warm regards,
Team Direct Pool Supplies Australia
“Extremely easy to use and great quality easy to see the colours on the inside of the tube.
Long time waiting for stock to arrive but worth the wait.
Thanks”
“I puchase one of these kits every two years for use in testing the water quality of my pool. The kit covers all of the testing required to maintain the pool water in safe limits. The small screw top dropper bottles are particularly convenient to use as are the tablets for the chloring test. The graduated tubes combined on one stand, make testing easy and straightforward.”
