Hello, Everyone! I live in Arizona, and it really bothers me that almost every day I find little geckos or lizards, often tiny babies, who fell in the pool and got trapped/drowned in the skimmer basket. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? A friend told me to put floaties in the pool...

Hello! I recently bought a DPD powder (R-0870) replacement for FAS-DPD test. I noticed the powder is more of a white color, where the previous powder was more of a gray color. Then after adding two scoops of powder to the water sample (10 ml), the water did turn pink but it also is a little...
