Speedstir

[SkyKid]

Hey Gang
Monday I ordered a salt water test kit and a speedstir
Today they came in
I opened the speedstir and installed the batteries filled the vial with some water and put the little stir thingy in
Man I was like a kid in a candy store
placed the vial on the speedstir and nothing:grrrr:
So I opened it back up and replaced the batteries with new batteries and got all set up again
Felt like a kid in a candy store again pushed the on button and the stir thingy barely moved
Man I felt like a kid at Christmas who wanted a Red Ryder BB gun and got pink bunny rabbit pajamas with pink feet instead
I was bummed
Then I got an :idea:
I took it all apart and didn't really see anything wrong (I have almost 20 years of being a service tech for an Amusement Company)
I put it back together and made sure I didn't tighten the screws too much
I put the vial and the stirrer thingy back on and pushed the on button
It works
Now I'm like some pencil neck geek going to use it for all my testings no more swirling the vials to mix my chems

Yeah, it's a neat little tech toy that really turns out to be quite helpful. I am a fan.

I have yet to get one... I am so tempted every year!!

 

[woodyp]

Richard made me buy one!

 

[Suziqzer]

Lol.. Made you buy one?

Now that I have one, I can't imagine life without it! I felt this way after the first use

Wife lost our stirrer bar a few weeks ago ... REALLY need to replace that

You can get them cheap on ebay (under $5-6 with shippijng) just search stir bars or magnetic stir and pick one that will fit in the tube,

I bought an extra just in case I loose one

You can also get the stir bar from the tftest kits website

It is the best thing I have with the exception of the testing kit.

I found a pack of 5 on ebay so I can use one for each test that needs one, no cleaning between tests for me. The speedstir and extra bars make testing a breeze.

Yep

I have some specialty criss/cross stir bars that make an extra deep vortex in the tube, and they are very quiet. So,take that.....

Now, who is the real geek around here I ask? :lol:
