Why is Sutro Better: The Gold Standard in Water Testing

The Gold Standard for Over 100 Years

Reagent based testing or dropping chemicals into a tube of water is the gold standard for water testing. Every single time you pull out your pool test kit, stick your hand up to your arm to get a sample and put five drops of phenol into it, you’re performing the most accurate way to measure the chemicals in water. It’s been done that way for over 100 years.

Reagent based testing is how every single water company, the FDA, the EPA, and anyone who wants an accurate and reliable measurement does it. Honestly, it’s how our drinking water is measured. It’s time-consuming and usually takes a human to perform (even if put into a machine like a Spin Touch) but it’s the best way to do it, hands down.

We Use the Best Reagents

Our reagents come from our partner, LaMotte, who has been testing water for over 100 years. This partnership means that all of our pH, Free Chlorine, and Total Alkalinity can be verified by the LaMotte Spin Lab.

When you go into your local pool store, it’s usually the LaMotte Spin Lab that tests your water. Since we use the exact same process and reagents, our measurements will match your local pool store measurements. That’s important because now everyone is on the same page and can give you the best recommendations to treat your pool (or spa).

Reason #1: Our results will (almost) always match your local pool stores.
