Where the SpinTouch Fits in the Testing Hierarchy

BTA’s Expert Opinion: Traditional water testing solutions range in quality and complexity. Here's how the SpinTouch compares:

• Basic Test Kits (Drop Kits & Titrated Kits): Affordable but prone to user error and limited in accuracy. Suitable for general monitoring.
• Specialized Tests (e.g., Nitrate & Phosphate): Offer higher precision for critical parameters, especially in low-nutrient environments, but require multiple tests and additional purchases for each parameter.
• SPINTOUCH IS SITTING ABOUT HERE, JUST UNDER OR ON PAR WITH HANNA CHECKERS, APART FROM A FEW PARAMETERS LIKE NITRATE AND PHOSPHATE
• Hanna Checkers: Compact single-parameter photometers that deliver excellent accuracy but are limited to one parameter at a time.
• Multi-Parameter Photometers: Ideal for aquarists and professionals managing diverse water systems. They provide a balance of precision and speed.
• ICP/N-doc Testing: The gold standard for ultimate accuracy, especially for detailed elemental analysis. However, these methods are time-intensive and require external labs.

The LaMotte SpinTouch FF sits head and shoulders above test kits IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES, delivering multi-parameter photometer accuracy with unmatched ease and speed. While nitrate and phosphate levels in low-nutrient reef systems may still require specialized testing for optimal accuracy (like Hanna Checkers or ICP), the SpinTouch using the appropriate disk (e.g., FF104, FF203) is perfect for everyday aquaculture monitoring and overall testing efficiency. By reducing your testing time, you can focus on what truly matters—maintaining vibrant and healthy aquatic systems.

For even greater convenience, you can utilize your local store’s SpinTouch testing services to cover a full suite of parameters, saving you time and ensuring high-quality results for your tank. Whether you're managing a simple system, a fish farm, or a high-tech reef tank, the SpinTouch FF can handle nearly all your water quality needs with precision and ease using the appropriate disk.

Unparalleled Accuracy with Advanced Testing Technology

The SpinTouch FF performs multiple tests per parameter within the disk, automatically identifying and removing outliers before calculating an average for each result. This cutting-edge process ensures highly consistent and accurate results while significantly reducing human error. Whether you’re managing a fish farm, a reef tank, or conducting water quality research, this advanced averaging system guarantees reliability you can trust.
