    Life expectancy of pool test kit

    That's the thing you likely wouldn't know unless you had old and new chemicals, and did 2 tests at same time to compare. Folks in chemistry industry spoke in general terms, so I don't know how applicable that is. And trying to see if anyone on here investigated this or has researched answers.

    Life expectancy of pool test kit

    I store all mu chemicals in house air conditioned dark space. Wonder how that changes life expectancy of the chemicals in the kit. How long should I expect to continue using chemicals in the kit. Is there a ballpark in years or months? Or is it one of those 'replace' by expiry dare? Looking...

    FC test check

    Using Taylor k-2006c fas-dpd test kit. For FC and CC test, does it really matter how much R-0870 powder I put in? From earlier readings came across threads where it was stated it does not matter how much powder is added. If it does not matter, how many scoops should be best to use? How precise...
