Can anyone spot my new toy from Taylor?

Not sure what a "Time saver" is!
Hint, it isn't the Speed Stir and it isn't the Sample Sizer.....
Doubt this is it, but I've been wondering what those "secret decoder wheels" are in the Taylor kits, in the top right of your kit.
Does it somehow remind you to "BE SURE TO DRINK YOUR OVALTINE"?

Speed Stir is what I was referring to as time saver. But since you pointed that it's not that then I give up. lol

While that isn't it, the "Secret Decoder Wheel" is a Water Balance Calculator..... handy, if you aren't near a computer....

The Taylor website has lots of "toys" for pool nerds.

Does it really save you any time? How long does it take to put a scoop of powder into a vial? I guess it might save you from spilling the powder container, which I have done.

It measures a correct dose. It's design with pool service pros in mind who might be doing a dozen tests a day. Saves you from scooping.
The drawback is you really can't leave it on as it it is not as well sealed as the bottle and it can get caked up with powder if exposed to a lot of humidity. You clean it off with water but the instructions say to dehydrate with isopropyl alcohol to ensure no water is left in the mechanism after rinsing.
Oh, and it is not compatible with the TF-100 powder bottle.

But I thought that dose size of powder doesn't really matter? I have been told here that although the instructions call for two scoops that if the sample turns pink after one then you don't have to add the second scoop.

It's better to use too much powder than not enough....that's all I'm sayin....

But if the sample turns bright pink after one scoop then I am guessing I am good. That is normally the case for me as my FC tends to be around 3.5.
Here is the quote that I was mentioning from one of the mods: Clumping on the R-0870 powder spoon

It allows you to determine your CSI given the input parameters it needs.
