Lamotte ColorQ 2x Pro 7 Test Kit 2086

Works very well. Connection to phone app is great. Test results can be emailed back to you in a PDF formate that is easy to save or print. Unit is quick and easy to use. Comes with plenty of reagents and tabs, should easily last the season or more. Usually with a chemical test set you are right pool side, in the sun. With this you can fill the sample bottle, come back to your table and run your tests sitting down with a cup of coffee (morning) and run your tests. The digital results make it easy to watch trends and helps you be more accurate with any adjustments to the pool chemistry you make. I’m pleased with the purchase.

I have been using ColorQ Pro 7 for 10 yrs and I love that test kit. I found that product has been replaced with the ColorQ 2x. ColorQ 2x test kit is just has great as the ColorQ Pro 7. Would highly recommend the ColorQ 2x Pro 7. I see the price dropped after I purchased mine two weeks ago.

Great product! Makes testing my pool water super easy without having to match any color scales

This tester is still amazing on it's easy of use and accuracy.

App issues:
-You have to log into the app every time like your bank app or something.
-App damm near want to know your blood type & GPS location before allowing you to use it.
-You have to select a location and test method every time like you have dozen tubs and 3 different testers to choose from.
-Can can't skip tests so bromine is getting logged not matter what's in the well
-App doesn't keep phone from timing out so if you run a test but your phone went blank you have to start all over because the result will not be logged.
-I've yet to see the app recommend less than a full ounce of any chemical for my 200 gallon tub not matter how close the result is to correct.

I wrote Lamotte and emailed with two people. Last person wanted to call so I gave my number and never heard back. Again, the tester is awesome. The app is poo poo...

Easy to use, accurate (I compared results from my tests to the local pool store on three separate occasions and the ColorQ 2X Pro 2086 was spot on every time! It looks like the agents will last a year, so as long as I don’t have any issues going forward, I think it is absolutely worth it!

I upgraded to this 2nd generation LaMotte tester. The Bluetooth app works perfectly and recommends what chemicals and amount needed to keep my pool in balance. I wish they would have kept the sample tubes the same as the prior generation, but other than that minor complaint I find this new version highly recommended.

Good:
Helps in learning to interpret the dip strips.
Instructions are clear and easy.
Works with my iPhone.
Almost as fast as the cheap chemical kits.
Bad:
Pill crush stick is crap and process is annoying. If you know you will use up the reagents before they expire, opt for all liquid.
Have to clean up the tubes & lids (which will stain)
Test sequence is linear so if you press too many times, too bad.
