I guess they would be PH strips like the ones we used in science class. Try a plumbing outfit. They may use them in hot water heating systems. Next question is what do you do to water that tests acidic or alkaline? Changing the water/coolant mixture might cause other problems. When you measure specific gravity, does that relate to PH?

I change my antifreeze every spring, cost about $15.00, if you did this there is never any worries about your cooling system status. Never could figure out why some people run the same antifreeze for years, when it cost about the same as an oil change to add new every year.
