    TF Test Kit - Smart Stirs going bad

    No, I don't get a lot of returns (usually changing the batteries works) and if I do have returns, the manufacturer is good about providing replacements to me.

    TF Test Kit - Smart Stirs going bad

    @duraleigh The Smart Stir is indeed labeled Ciblanc.. I just find that name very clunky so I refer to them as Smart Stirs. Ciblanc Smart Stirs are what we sell at TFtestkits. @jesse-99 Jesse-99 has emailed me and I've responded, but I figured I would take the opportunity to post what I told...

    Taylor Borate Test Strip Problem

    @zachary.cayou I would recommend reaching out to Taylor technical support as well. The borates test strips we are currently selling were ordered from Taylor less than 3 months ago so unless the bottles have been compromised, they should be working as intended. Please keep in touch with us at...

    Taking new (accurate) product pictures is definitely on the to-do list! Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the clarification.

    Not sure what you mean about "new" caps - in my experience we have always had colored caps for the specific tests. Green for TA (7, 8, 9), blue for CH (10, 11L, 12), yellow for chlorine (600, 3, 870, 871), red for pH . The only exception is R-0013. Perhaps there was some sort of shortage in the...

    All of the bottles, regardless of which refill set you buy, are color-coded! You are correct in saying the only difference between the two is the quantity and format of the R-0013 (and which will fit the corresponding cases).

    Anyone know about this website.

    Hi @BMerrill , thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will follow up with the owner accordingly. Hopefully someone has replied with TFP’s SLAM resources to set them straight! Nate

    Does anyone use the pH meter from TFT Test Kits?

    This post is accurate. The pH meter is optional, and meant for users who prefer digital to analog. The included calibration solutions are not consumed by the meter, so as long as you store them in a closed container, you can reuse them indefinitely and calibrate whenever you notice deviation...

    All of them, generally! I've had people experience problems with ancient bottles of R-0011L (3+ years old) but that's the only notable exception. If your results start to deviate significantly from your expectations, reach out to us at [email protected]

    Annual test kit sale

    @poolnoobgrandma Hello, TFtestkits guarantees all the reagents for at least a year from their purchase date. In reality many of the reagents will last longer than that and produce excellent results until they are used up. The Taylor bottle in question has a "best by" date as opposed to an...

    Annual test kit sale

    Hello, The refill sets correspond to the original kit you bought. The only difference between the TF-100 refill set and TF-Pro refill set is the quantity of R-0013: 1 8oz bottle in the TF-100 refill set, 3 2oz bottles in the TF-Pro refill set. The K-2006 refill set does not contain R-0014 or...

    Old claggy DPD powder

    Unfortunately at this time we have no immediate plans. I know the Australian community is pretty large here on TFP and I would love to serve you all, so I'll be sure to make it known if international shipping becomes a reality. If it is any consolation for everyone else, we have begun including...

    My TF-Pro Test Kit review + Results

    Hi rootusrootus, Feedback on our kit is always appreciated so thank you for taking the time to post! The chlorine-only cylinders certainly can take a beating from repetitive use, so we advise users to fill a primary container (empty soda bottle) with pool water first, then pour into the...

    TF-Pro with pH meter and stirrer

    Sorry that I missed your call - I was on the way to the post office. Any container that will hold 250mL will be sufficient, and it will be helpful if you can store these containers so that if recalibration is required down the line, you still have the calibration solutions saved. Distilled...

    Help choosing a test kit

    Hello and welcome to the forum! The TF-100 and TF-Pro both contain the same tests for pool water parameters: calcium hardness, total alkalinity, free and combined chlorine, pH, and cyanuric acid. The TF-Pro is our top-line kit for the following reasons: 1. The TF-Pro has a much nicer polyvinyl...

    A little overwhelmed

    Hello, Nate from TFTestkits here. Please shoot me an email (if you have not already) at [email protected] with your order number and I will remedy this ASAP. Sometimes the stir bar can fall underneath the foam insert, so you may want to check under it as well.
