I haven’t, but I probably should. I’ll keep you posted....

Maybe that part of the article should be updated? I don’t recall adding a drop of reagent ever being an actual suggestion.

As you, I was told one less drop as well; five tends to oversaturate the color intensity, as in this case.

Or as others have mentioned, one less drop. That sample’s color seems oversaturated, so one less drop may allow for a more accurate comparison?

I always thought cold temperatures might damage the cell....

I'm linking to the thread referenced by @Stoopalini. Here’s what I discovered once I went through all the permutations of reagents, standards, and tubes...

Ok, here's what I get with all the permutations: Using R-0813 reagent from TFTestKits: ------------ (tubes: TFTK (>20), Taylor (>30), Slide) R-7065 Std from TFTestKits: <20, <30, 30 R-7065 Std from Taylor: 30, 40, 50 (My pool water: 70, 80, 90) Using R-0813 reagent from Taylor: ------------...

Here in the Northeast U.S., of course one should remove the SWG cell from the pool (which may freeze, even with the salt). But once detached, can one leave it in the shed, or must it be brought indoors to avoid (dry) freezing temps? [moved from a thread begun in error]

I tend to agree. I believe it’s geared more toward the pool store professional (if only!).

Anyone see this or are familiar with it? It seems like a K-2006C on steroids, complete with SpeedStir (w/AC adapter), both SampleSizers, a Gepe daylight backlight, and even a T-0871 powder dispenser, with a liberal amount of CYA reagent to fill the relatively voluminous sliding tube plus a...

Well, now I feel silly. That was exactly it: TPF collapses the menu should the window’s real estate be downsised enough. (I thought I’d done something to vanish it for good, and was trying to undo it. 🤦‍♂️)

(I will say this about Summer 2020: The entire godforsaken year can take a royal hike, and pronto.)

It was 45 degrees here over the past several nights. Goodbye summer.

I tend to agree that the behavior is more unintentional. You don't want to walk back a misunderstanding; that's almost impossible. I think you dealt with it right: Despite your astonishment, you convinced them discreetly to move on. Maybe they got the message already. Now if they keep doing...
