eXact iDip Water Testing
App-connected photometer testing with configurable methods and result records
The eXact iDip system combines a handheld photometer with a compatible mobile app for test selection, result transfer and record keeping. The permanent sample cell is used with defined eXact reagent methods.
Confirm phone or tablet compatibility, included tests, optional in-app methods, sample type, range and reagent availability. Different freshwater, marine, pool and process kits may contain different accessories and chemistry.
Compare instrument, app, methods and consumables as one system
- Check current mobile operating-system compatibility.
- Confirm which tests are included or optional.
- Match each Strip Micro reagent to its method.
- Review sample-cell cleaning and calibration procedure.
- Plan result storage, export and location records.
Our practical view: The koi and marine iDip kits solve different testing jobs. We start with the water type and decisions you need to make, then confirm the included strips and app workflow.
Choosing eXact iDip Water Testing from a measured water result
eXact iDip water-testing systems combine a handheld photometer with parameter-specific reagents and a connected app. The custom koi and marine kits are assembled around different priorities, so compare contents rather than choosing on case size. A photometer improves consistency only when sample cells are clean, volumes are accurate and reaction times are followed.
What to check before ordering
- List the parameters and ranges needed for the system.
- Check phone/app compatibility and how results will be stored or shared.
- Budget for the correct replacement strips and calibration checks.

Current examples include Aqua Source eXact iDip 570 Custom Marine Kit and Aqua Source eXact iDip 570 Custom Koi Kit.
For routine pond safety, ammonia, nitrite, pH and alkalinity still deserve a clear testing schedule. Extra parameters are most valuable when they lead to a defined action.

eXact iDip Water Testing Testing Guide
The app and photometer have separate roles
The meter performs the optical reading while the compatible app manages test selection, communication and saved records.
A kit name defines its starting equipment
A freshwater, marine or pool kit may bundle different reagents and accessories even when the core photometer is related.
Connectivity does not replace method discipline
Bluetooth transfer prevents manual transcription, but accurate sampling, zeroing, reagent release and timing remain essential.

eXact iDip Water Testing Frequently Asked Questions
These eXact iDip Water Testing answers cover the recurring buying and testing questions we encounter. The exact instrument, reagent and application instructions still take priority.
What is the eXact iDip system?
It is a handheld smart photometer platform that communicates with a compatible mobile app and uses defined reagent methods for water analysis.
Does eXact iDip need a smartphone or tablet?
The smart workflow uses a compatible Apple or Android device; verify the current app and operating-system requirements before ordering.
Are all eXact iDip tests included with the meter?
No. Included methods and reagents depend on the kit, and additional tests may require compatible reagent strips and an app purchase or activation.
Can eXact iDip store results for several water sources?
The compatible app supports saved test histories and location-related records; check the current app functions and permissions.
How do I choose the right eXact iDip Water Testing product?
For eXact iDip Water Testing, define the sample type, expected concentration, reporting unit and confidence required before comparing compatible instruments, reagents and standards.
Why does the measurement range matter?
When testing eXact iDip Water Testing, a result outside the method range may be invalid, while an unnecessarily broad range can hide useful detail at low concentrations.
Why must I record the unit with a water-test result?
A eXact iDip Water Testing value is meaningful only with its unit, reporting form and method; similar-looking numbers can otherwise describe different results.
How can I improve repeatability when using eXact iDip Water Testing?
For repeatable eXact iDip Water Testing results, use a representative sample, clean equipment, accurate volume and consistent timing, and keep optical cells free from fingerprints and bubbles.
What should I do if a water-test result looks wrong?
If a eXact iDip Water Testing result looks wrong, repeat a fresh sample, confirm the method and range, inspect the reagents and validate with a suitable standard or independent method where needed.
How should water-test reagents and standards be stored?
Store eXact iDip Water Testing reagents and standards sealed, labelled and within the stated temperature and expiry limits, and protect them from contamination.
Can eXact iDip Water Testing prove water is safe to drink?
No. A eXact iDip Water Testing field test covers defined parameters only and cannot establish overall drinking-water or microbiological safety.
What details should I record with a test result?
With a eXact iDip Water Testing result, record the date, time, sampling point, temperature where relevant, instrument, method, chemical form, unit and recent treatment or maintenance.
