I know what you are going to say, but I've been using Pro Team Supreme Plus for a couple of years. If you want "easy" and don't mind the cost, this is the way to go.

I have been hibernating for the winter, but I checked out this thread today. Last year (see the bottom paragraph of post 138) you will see that I have tried the ClearWatersTesting borate test kit. There are two versions, $28 for commercial and $30 for residential customers. Only difference is...

These tests were done in my kitchen, accuracy is not guaranteed. I am not a chemist and could be way off base with all of this data. I am, however, quite anal about my water chemistry, and I do believe they are fairly accurate and provide some useful information when testing for borate using a...

The conversation regarding piscines-apollo drop test and test strips basically ended on page 4. The discussion changed to devising a working drop test among TFP members. Why is this conversation off topic now? If you want to move it to a new thread, it's fine with me, but I was just curious...

While waiting for my BTB to arrive, I did some testing using Phenolphthalein as the indicator. The results are interesting. When I get the data cleaned up and readable I'll post it along with my BTB data. One thing nice about PHPH is it's sudden change from clear to pink. Easy to spot unless...

I'll see what I can come up with. I guess I'll have to order some BTB!

I understand what you are saying, but let me explain my thoughts a little further. I am not picking an arbitrary high value. I am using a value around 8.2 pH which, according to a BTB Color Scale, is the point where BTB turns blue. Most likely the value will not be exactly 8.2 because when...

Sorry to have bothered you with my "home chemistry"

I've been wanting to find a usable borate drop test for a while now and have been following this borate testing thread with interest. I tried something today that I'm surprised no one has written about. I bought a pH meter and used it to perform the test with some slight changes: I don't need...
