With the ludicrous amount of testing I've been doing for the ludicrous amount of SLAMming I've been doing, I'm probably going to be running out of the R-0871 that came w/the TF-Pro, so I'd like to be ready. I got that kit from the States, and that cost me, but if there is a cheaper alternative up here for replacements, I'd like to hear about it. Also, Googling "r-0871" reveals that there are different types, so I'm going to need to know what's compatible as well.
I've tried looking around the forum for these things, like "canada" and "replacement" but I can't find anything that suits my exact situation, which involves this particular kit as well as being in Ottawa.
 
They don't seem to have the exact thing I'm looking for. The stuff in their catalogue just lists packs. I e-mailed them but they haven't gotten back to me. Can anyone suggest a backup?
 
Lowry and Associates have ghosted me. I just ran out. In some ways it's a relief, because now I have an excuse to give up on this months-long fool's errand of controlling algae. But I should try to get more. Any idea where?
 
Likely the easiest way is to order in the US, have it shipped to a mail drop in Ogdensburg, NY, and drive down and get it.
 
I just found a site that hasn't come up before. Home - Pool Test Kits Canada They only sell Taylor test kits and reagents, so assuming they will be fresh and hopefully fast. Delivery over $50 is free. Am about to order a 2 oz R-0781 to get me through the season and hopefully opening in the spring. They don't seem to have the largest sizes available as they cater to residential pools, so will still use Amazon.ca for larger sizes for testing chlorine and CYA.

Let us know how it turns out 👍🏻
