    Taylor Xpress Flex testing system any experience? Accuracy?

    I am a bigger fan of drop tests for water testing, but there is a lot we built into the Xpress Flex lab and the test strips. One of the biggest items you will appreciate is that the lab/program requires you enter the "lot code" of the test strips. This serves 2 main purposes: 1) You cannot use...

    Updated CYA Test from Taylor Technologies - You could now test down to 5 ppm!

    You do not need to get the full kit. You could just modify your current kit with the new instruction, 5096. You could buy that through TFTestKits or on our website, whichever is easier for you.

    Updated CYA Test from Taylor Technologies - You could now test down to 5 ppm!

    That's what I get for working late! We were challenged by a chemical supplier to modify our kits to read lower CYA levels. The changes we made allow reading down to 5 ppm of CYA. You do need to dilute to read higher levels. I am so sorry for the error!

    Testing for Chlorine in the World of a Chlorine Shortage

    My friends at TFP are the best supporters of the FAS DPD test. Now, more than ever, people will want to know more precisely what their chlorine levels are. To me, FAS DPD beats color-matching, hands down. I do not do well reading pink colors. Besides making reading Free Chlorine more exact, FAS...

    Using the K-2006 CYA test

    As with all testing, lighting is critical to obtain the best possible match. We advise that when testing outdoors, have the Sun hit your back or shoulders. Never face the Sun – doing that will alter your test results as the UV light will interfere. The same holds true for the CYA test. Have your...
