IMHO, it shouldn't need to be. With test strips, my only intent is to see if there is something drastically off kilter. pH tests are likely the most reliable of any of them. If tap water pH is wildly off, there is likely something else wrong.
Excluding some cases, just a taste of the tap water should tell you volumes more than what a test strip might.
