ERROR MESSAGES
• I f ER appears in place of a numerical value – the test
result is out of range. The parameter is either too high
or too low to be accurately analyzed. Note the status
level, LO or HI to determine how to treat your water.
Re-test after treatment.
• I f ER2 appears on the screen – there is an error in
reading the test strip. Ensure that you are following the
test procedure correctly. Use only AquaChek TruTest
instrumental test strips. No other test strip can be
used.
• I f ER3 appears on the screen – no strip is in place
or the test strip is positioned incorrectly. The correct
position is with the test pads face down in the slot with
the top pad all the way to the top.
• I f only LO appears in the TA location on the TruTest
Meter display, the battery voltage has dropped below
the permissible limit. Replace with new batteries.

The AquaChek TruTest Digital Test Strip reader is intended to provide a convenient alternative to visual color
matching, with the ease of a digital display. The meter and test strips can achieve representative readings
of pool and hot tub water conditions when following all directions and using properly stored and handled,
unexpired test strips.
In general, results are comparable to other visual testing methods obtained by a person with good
color matching ability. When the water sample being tested is near or outside of the Range of Results
boundaries, results may not reflect acual water conditions. Consult a pool or hot tub professional when
unusual water conditions, chemisty problems or questionable results occur.
After testing, consider these actions:
• Compare the result with the water parameter range recommended per equipment or chemical
program
• Treat the water per chemical manufacturer's instructions
• Re-test for confirmation of the result
• Consult with a pool or hot tub professional
