Scuba 2 water tester

[domino]

hi all
I'm considering buying a Lovibond Scuba 2 (new model to market next month) for testing our pool water.
Just wondered if anyone uses this brand (previous model) or any other. Reliability is essential.
All suggestions appreciated.

I have a Lovibond Checkit Direct machine - a shed load more expensive than the Scuba 2 - but it works really well and gives me confidence that my readings are accurate.

So a thumbs up for the manufacturer, but I would question why my machine is nearly 10 times the price of the one you're looking at

The best price i've found for the new 'scuba 2' model is £130.
Was your tester over £1300 Caroline?

I did a quick search on the net and found the scuba 2 at £95 here

Sorry I thought that mine was 800 euros, but I've just checked and it was 660 euros. Still quite a difference.

Thanks for that Caroline, I think the new version is more expensive.
Re your Lovibond Checkit Direct machine, does it give you a digital reading or do you have to compare colours via discs?

Digital reading for Ph, Chlorine (free and total) and Cyanuric acid. It can use both tablets and liquid reagents.
