Yeah thanks Matt, you know us Aussies too well.
Can this water testing become an obsession like it has with me?

You should have "the talk" with your family to let them know there's a new love in your life....the pool. Hopefully they can accept this new phase of your life and learn to love you just the same.....
Did you get the SpeedStir?

Yes my new love.
No speed stir as the mob I bought the kit from here were out of stock so I'm still looking at getting one of those.
Also I have discovered that Taylor have an electronic watergram tester, what do people think about these?

Electronic test kits are not worth it. Even if they do work as well as titration (which they don't), they require constant calibration to keep them in good working order. As well, when they do start to fail, it's not usually obvious so you have no idea that your measurements are off.
Stick with the titration drops. It's all the accuracy you need. And when you get your SpeedStir, you'll find testing goes A LOT quicker.

I agree with Matt on the photo spectrometer meters. I will say that a properly calibrated meter is more accurate than titration because drop size can vary a bit BUT we're just testing pool water here so it's pointless.

No postal goodies delivered today.
I should have worded my question in more detail. It's not an electronic water tester but an electronic water balance calculator that crunches all your numbers and tells you sort of what needs to be added etc to improve the water. Here is a good video of what this thing is. https://www.taylortechnologies.com/products_choose_slideshow.asp?PartNumber=6028

Hi John, I've been interested to see how you've gotten on with Nq test kits, as I was going to put an order in to them for some refills for my K2006. I have emailed them before and didn't get a reply so obviously customer service seems to be lacking. I may stick with my supplier in the US.
Ive found their website has gone offline.. My original supplier of the k2006 cant deliver now so Im considering purchasing a TF100 via a freight forwarder now.. Maybe we could do a "bulk" order and share freight
Interesting fellas, I shall give him until the post arrives today, if not I shall be in touch. The website does seem to be back on line ATM.
Cheers,
John

Well surprise surprise nothing in the post again today. I have even texted him again giving him my ultimatum but no reply. And to think that his product could be a great little earner if it was marketed here properly.
Oh well his loss.........

If I had the loose cash at the moment I would buy a heap of kits and resell them locally.
But the initial spend on a nieche product is a bit off putting

Just got an email from NQ Pools admitting they are behind with orders and that they hope to have all orders fulfilled by COB today, so that's at least encouraging.

On the bright side, if they are that busy then you have a better chance of getting fresh reagents.
