I was curious what is the best way to measure H2S in water. For instance, I could get a test strip, but I suspect it only measures the dissolved H2S. That would be something like this:
https://www.amazon.ca/WaterWorks-Hydrogen-Sulfide-Test-Strip/dp/B009MMUMYQ This one goes from 0 to 80 ppm.
I could also get one where you add add alka-seltzer tablets like this which reads whatever H2S it can push into the gas phase:

My water is very high pH which means that the vast majority of the H2S is in solution. Thus, I'm leaning towards the first product which is lower cost, quicker delivery, and has a larger test range. I had a water guy test my water once and said it was over 5 ppm. I don't recall how he tested it, but I'm guessing it was the hach test.
Are there other better options?
