Just a quick update. OTPirate is sending me a CH Standard solution to conduct further testing with. I did side-by-side tests tonight with both kits. Everything is in sync except for the CH, which is good news. TF-Pro had CH 550 while the TF-100 was at 375 -- at least it's consistent, right!? I...

Thanks for all the feedback. There is no obvious blockage in the tips. I've reached out to TFTestKits. I'm going to do a full comparison to see what else might be amiss. For now I'm not trusting any tests out of the TF-Pro.

I've had the TF-100 since late January this year, but I also just picked up a TF-Pro this month. I'm currently bringing my CH up to ~350 from the low point of 200. Everything was going well until I used the TF-Pro to test today, then I compared results between the two. 3/31: I started with CH...

I'm about to replace my single speed pump with a VS and I'm looking at the 3HP IntelliFlo pumps. Can the VSF pump operate in RPM mode instead of flow mode? I found the VSF to be cheaper than the VS in most places. Pentair IntelliFlo VS Variable Speed Pool Pump - 011028 for $1300 Pentair...
