BTA expert opinion
Testing hierarchy
Traditional water testing solutions range in quality and complexity. Here is how the SpinTouch compares across the spectrum.
Entry level
Basic test kits (drop & titrated kits)
Affordable but prone to user error and limited in accuracy. Suitable for general monitoring only.
Intermediate
Specialised tests (nitrate & phosphate)
Higher precision for critical parameters, especially in low-nutrient environments, but require multiple tests and additional purchases per parameter.
SPINTOUCH — multi-parameter photometer
Sits on par with Hanna Checkers for most parameters, delivering multi-parameter photometer accuracy with unmatched ease and speed. The sweet spot for everyday aquaculture monitoring.
Advanced
Hanna Checkers
Compact single-parameter photometers delivering excellent accuracy, but limited to one parameter at a time.
Professional
Multi-parameter photometers
Ideal for professionals managing diverse water systems. Balance of precision and speed.
Gold standard
ICP / N-doc testing
Ultimate accuracy for detailed elemental analysis. Time-intensive and requires external labs.
Lab-grade precision
Unparalleled accuracy
The SpinTouch FF performs multiple tests per parameter within the disk, automatically identifying and removing outliers before calculating an average. This ensures highly consistent and accurate results while significantly reducing human error.
