BlueGreen Test Kit
I recently used this blue-green algae test kit for our front yard pond, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the test itself was simple—no special equipment or background knowledge needed. Within a short time, we got results that confirmed our pond water was safe and free from harmful toxins. It gave me real peace of mind knowing that my child and pets can enjoy the water without any health concerns. Highly recommend this for any pond owner looking for quick, reliable answers!

Recommend for any pet owner - easy and quick peace of mind
Highly recommend for anyone who has pets or children. From working in vet med, I’ve firsthand seen the dangers of blue algae with dogs specifically. I purchased this kit for peace of mind because we were going camping in an area known for blue algae growth in late summer. The test was fairly simple to use with easy to understand instruction and had quick results. The whole process took about 16 minutes. Will definitely be purchasing again for future lake trips.

Peace of mind for my dogs
I used this kit to test my pond that had signs of blue green algae. I had treated the pond but wanted to make sure it was safe for my dogs to swim. I would give it 5 stars, but the cost is prohibitive and the directions don’t say if you should test the water that has the slime on it or in a clear area.

Blue green algae test works
I was able to confirm blue green algae and now will not let my dog near the water. The test was easy to use, and confirmed my suspicion. The algae is very toxic for dogs and can be fatal. The price of the test was worth it for me. The process is similar to Covid tests and the red line clearly indicates presence of toxins.

Great product for dog safety
We bought this to make sure our dogs would be safe to play in the water near our home. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and we now have peace of mind that the water is fine. It’s pricier than I would have liked for one test kit but we weren’t able to find anything cheaper.

15 minutes & Piece of Mind
So simple and easy to use can save your child's or dogs life, and its inexpensive and only takes 15 minutes for peace of mind. I use it every time we go camping by water or even for a day trip. I live in oregon and yes we have clean water but better safe than sorry.

Really expensive
This product contains only one test. Very expensive. Will not buy again. Not really sure how accurate it is or who has certified the product.

Worked well, instructions we very easy to follow.
Worked great and gave me peace of mind letting my dogs freely swim while camping. The other thing I will say is that the name got me. I thought it was five test strips but "5Strands" is actually the name of the company. This kit only has one test. It is a little pricey for one test but I'd rather that than a sick animal.

Expensive
Although the test worked it’s only one test kit! So the price it’s extortionate for what it is!

Expensive but how much is your pets life worth?
Love the peace of mind that this kit provides. During the summer months, lots of lakes near me had algae blooms and it’s scary not knowing if it’s safe for my dog to swim. This is valuable reassurance for my dog!!

ONE TEST, NOT 5 ! Extortion
One test NOT 5!!! When I tried to return the item the seller denied it, even under the ‘right to redress’ which is a UK consumer act LAW. Avoid at all costs.
