Carl,
It should work, as I use some liquid pH chemicals which can also be
found in the pool section at times. I don't buy mine from pool
suppliers, but same chemical test solutions are used. As long as the
pH range is good enough to test the full range you need to test.
Also, do a search on the web for Pike Agri Labs. They sell pH test
paper, chemicals and electronic testers. These all work well on urine
and most work for saliva as well. Some of the electronic testers need
more than a drop or two of solution to test.
If you need more help, let me know. I do the Ream's urine/saliva
test, which tests for pH as well as a few other things to find where
the body chemistry is. Then I use food and supplements to bring the
chemistry back to where it should be.
Good luck!
