These dip tests are a rapid way of getting an idea of the water quality in a pond, even though they are not as precise or accurate as separate test kits. When I've compared the results to separate checks on individual test kits, the hardness checks (GH and KH) have been close; the pH is usually within 0.5 of the result (not great, but much better than the pH results on most other dip tests I've used); the NO2 scale only picks up higher levels, so can only be a useful warning in extreme cases; the NO3 is very swift compared to liquid tests, and adequate for higher levels of nitrates (over 10-20ppm) - a low level test kit would be needed if levels under 10ppm were being investigated.
