Hi Jess, leave the battery compartment empty overnight and then replace with new batteries in the morning. Sounds weird, but it works every time. Let me know how it goes or send me an email [email protected] and I can follow up. Nate @ TFT

Hello, The Taylor SampleSizer is a Taylor product, not a TFtestkits product. It is intended to work with the Taylor 9198 cylinder. I can't easily control whether the SampleSizer works with my cylinders or not, but we do sell the 9198 cylinder on our website. I am sorry that this is not...

Since this thread was posted, Taylor has redesigned their borate test strips. I'm not sure exactly what that entails but they discontinued the S-1342 borate strips and came out with a new S-1405 borate strips in a different bottle. For whatever it's worth, I haven't seen any complaints about...

We certainly strive to be the best. Sounds like you have a defective comparator block, so shoot me an email at [email protected] and we can make it right for you. New instructions coming soon! They’ll be printed on a synthetic material that’s waterproof, tear resistant, and heavier than the...

What Marty says is correct. The OTO test and its inclusion in the TF kits predates salt water generators entirely, so it makes more sense when you consider only traditionally chlorinated pools. The idea was that by using the OTO test, you get a quick QUALITATIVE test of whether or not your...

Welcome back Monte!!!!!!!!!!

Passed the OCLT with no loss so I’m covered, I suppose

Easy since the pool is clear except for my little buddies down there 🤬

Yeah yeah, I’m a busy guy and don’t have time to update my signature 😂 It’s a Pentair Triton II, the largest one (I think it’s TR-140) Environmental like pollen? Its shape is just so peculiar. I’m no stranger to pollen but not pollen balls!

Hi all, I’ve been dealing with these puffball looking shapes despite having decent water chemistry. I can’t net them out as they dissipate into dust when disturbed. I’m seeing them in this same spot in the pool daily. I brush them away and they’re back within 8 hours. My brain says algae but the...

Send me a PM with your gift certificate code or email it to me ([email protected]) and I’ll apply it to your order retroactively. Nate @ TFT

Again, your discussion would be more than welcome in a thread in The Deep End. My deletion of your post had more to do with it not being your thread than anything else. In the Algae subforum, we prefer our guides and experts help users with their pool issues and we leave the more philosophical...

Yes, I welcome discussion on this subject on TFP. The thread you posted in was not your own and I simply ask that you either revise your original post or start a new thread. If you would like to have a discussion about the utility of borates as an algae growth inhibitor, by all means start a...

Do you know how they test your water, I.e if they use a test kit or what kind of test kit they use? 10 FC with 60 CYA is nothing to be worried about. Dive right in!

All taken care of. Nate @ TFT

Also, to address your original question about your pool guy: you can just use the FAS-DPD test to make sure your chlorine measurement is accurate versus your pool guy’s. Also helps to make sure you’re reading the block correctly, although the block measures total chlorine (FC + CCs) instead of...

Hi all, I’m here to put an end to all the speculation. The comparator in question are the Taylor 9781 (black one-piece cap) which is included in the Taylor K-1000 basic test kit. We used to include that whole basic test kit in our TF-100 and occasionally have had to use the 9781 comparator in...

I just changed this today and generated yet another typo. I’ll change this quickly later tonight and thanks for the heads up. The third option previously was bleach but the consensus is that liquid chlorine is the same thing and generally easy to find and easier to use because of the higher...

I've added this information and will also add it to ABCs. Thank you for your great suggestion! Nate

I've fixed this typo. I don't necessarily need everyone to know it, but I'm posting to make sure I don't forget :laughblue:

I don’t want to confuse the subject any further but I think for the sake of clarity it’s important to note that ammonia is an uncommon occurrence. Simply proceed with the SLAM process. There’s no reason to suspect ammonia is at play right now. If the SLAM seems like it’s not working (and you are...

Hello, this may be due to insufficient mixing of the reagent PRIOR to adding to the mixing bottle. It’s a little late now but I would be happy to include extra standard on your next order with us. Just let me know. On the other hand the CYA reagent R-0013 is quite stable. We don’t print lot...

Again, send me an email! You are entitled to a replacement bottle! Whether you want it now or with your next order, bottles without dropper tips are a quality control issue that needs addressing.

Hi! Thanks for your business. Shoot me an email at [email protected] and I will work with you to get you the replacement supplies you need! Nate @ TFT

No, we use a different supplier. We also sell the 9781 comparator that’s included in the K-1000 and the like.

I'm happy to honor the sale price for you. Just send me an email at [email protected]
