    FAS-DPD testing Difference between Reagents

    Hi Pattie, One explanation I could think of is technique. Are you holding both dropper bottles completely vertically and allowing the drops to form and fall naturally off the tip with minimal squeezing of the bottle? The date on the R-0871 currently being sold at TFT is best by 9/24. There...

    ph meter confusion

    I've already helped Keith @keithpgdrb via email but for anyone else who may find this thread in the future and say, "Hey, my pH meter kind of behaves like this!" This is not normal! I don't believe that it's truly light sensitive but something is definitely defective with the meter and for that...

    Why isn't the TF-100 sold on amazon?

    Hello, We don't sell on eBay or Amazon as that removes our ability to handle customer service personally. When you buy a TF test kit, part of what you are paying for is the personalized customer service in addition to the supplies themselves. We are pool owners as well who have been through many...

    ph meter confusion

    This sounds like a defect in your meter, rather than the intended operation. The meter is obviously not meant to be sensitive to light, nor should it drop rapidly upon repeat tests. Can you upload a video to youtube and post it here, or send it to me at [email protected] please? Reach out to...

    TF kit issues

    @jesse-99 holding us accountable! So far his is the only Smart Stir that truly died, at least so far.... 🤞 @mrjetson707 hopefully leaving the batteries out will solve your issue.

    TF kit issues

    Quoting because this is a new trick I’ve found that works. Leave the batteries out overnight and then email us if it doesn’t work.

    Looking for non-slip solution

    Hello folks, We have a ~42k gallon vinyl pool but my question doesn’t really pertain to the pool as opposed to the tiles around it. They are exceedingly slippery and after my 15 month old slipped and gave herself a nice bump on the head yesterday, it has become obvious that we need to do...

    test kits/tfp supporter grip

    @koffey from what I understand, reshipment services like Shippsy are affordable enough that I have Canadian customers use them every year for refills. Have you looked into these?

    Switched to a new bottle of R-0871 and drops are too small and drip out uncontrollably

    Hi Klutz, Sorry to see that you are having issues with a couple of our bottles. Let me know if swapping the tips works. All the bottles in question use the same tip, so they are all swappable. Tip defects are exceedingly rare but they can happen. Perhaps there is a non-obvious defect in the...

    Opening my pool and want to do it real nice this time

    @montek I want to reiterate - for the blue scoop, hold the paddle end and scoop with the tiny rounded end. Good luck!!!

    Borates, pH and TA

    Don, Your order was from March of 2022 and the defective lot I recently received from Taylor Technologies was purchased in February 2023. As you told me, you had already thrown the strips away and could not supply any pictures of your strips. Additionally, your purchase no longer qualified for...

    TF Test Kit - Smart Stirs going bad

    Well here I am, with my tail between my legs. @jesse-99 has managed to find the only Smart Stir that has actually failed to power on after returning it to me. I'm looking forward to investigating further but for now I've replaced his. I'll report back to this thread if I find anything...
