If you use Davey Microlene Acquasafe to disinfect your rainwater tank, these test strips are how you confirm it is still working. Acquasafe protection breaks down over time and is diluted every time new rainwater enters the tank. Without testing, there is no way to know whether your tank water is still protected or whether it is time to re-dose.
Each strip measures the residual hydrogen peroxide level in your tank water. A result within the effective range means your Acquasafe treatment is holding. A low reading means it is time to top up. Simple, quick, and no equipment needed.
Sold as a 10-pack. Compatible with Davey Microlene Acquasafe in all sizes (1L, 5L, and 25L).

FAQs
How long do the test strips last once opened?
Keep the pack sealed when not in use and store it somewhere cool and dry. Exposure to air, moisture, or heat can degrade the strips over time, so a pack left open for many months may give less reliable readings even if it looks unused.
How do I read the test strip result?
Dip the strip briefly into a sample of your tank water, then compare the colour change against the reference chart included with the pack. The colour indicates the hydrogen peroxide residual level, which tells you whether the water is still adequately protected.
How often should I test my tank water?
Test after significant rainfall events. New water entering the tank dilutes the existing Acquasafe concentration and can introduce new contamination. Also test on a regular ongoing basis to confirm the residual remains at an effective level in a stable system.
Are these strips compatible with other disinfectants?
These strips are designed for use with Davey Microlene Acquasafe. If you are using a different disinfectant, get in touch, and we'll advise on the right testing method.
What do I do if the test shows a low reading?
Re-dose with Acquasafe; follow the standard dosage table available on the Acquasafe product page. Allow the required contact time before use.
