Shhhhh, let me tell you a secret - I don't test every day. Once you get experience, you kind of know what your pool and/or hot tub is doing and you can just add chemicals for a few days. For example, back when I did not have a SWCG I knew that my pool took a quart of bleach per day, once I had it dialed in. I could do that for 3 or 4 days and know it was going to be OK, and then test and make adjustments. I know my hot tub takes 2oz of bleach a day. I add that, even if I did not test it that day.
I don't skip testing for a long period of time, but it is no longer a daily task for me. I test FC/CC and pH 3-4 times a week, and I do a full battery of tests each weekend.
As far as digital / automated testing. When I fill my hot tub, I have to test pH every day for a week to 10 days until I get it dialed in. I thought a pH meter would be a big help. No, it was not. I spent so much time calibrating that thing, that it actually took me more time.
