Am I using the right ph tester?

[nabril15]

Hello all
I have been using this to test the ph for years by putting 5 drops of r0014 into it. Rebecca from tftkits confirmed that it was ok to use years ago, I think, but I simply double check with you all.


Also, is it bad to have too much salt in the pool? My rj45 shows 3700, and I'll do a manual test when the rain stops, but the RJ is usually close.

Yes it is ok.

3700 is ok but you should not go higher. Let salt drop down towards 3200 before you add more.

I'm going to switch back to R-0014 and the corresponding CL reagent because I greatly dislike the TF version with it's single caps and more difficult to read color scales. I kept my old Taylor kit so I could go back to it. I especially liked the single cap that sealed both tubes at the same time.
