Product details
AquaChek 562012 borate test strips come 25 to a bottle and read the borate level in pool water.
Why a separate test
Borate is added to pools as sodium tetraborate pentahydrate, sold under a number of additive brand names. Standard multi strips do not read it, so once you have dosed a pool with borate you have no way to see the level without a dedicated test. That matters because the effect people are after depends on staying in range: steadier pH, an algaestatic contribution, lower chlorine demand, and water that feels softer and looks clearer.
Using them
Test after dosing to confirm where the pool has landed, then check through the season. Borate does not burn off the way chlorine does, but the level still falls with dilution: backwashing, splash out, and topping up after rain all pull it down over time.
