Can I use a “regular” magnetic stirrer? *pic included*

[AUSpool]

I’ve seen this on eBay, I was very tempted and may still get one. I bought the Intllab dosing pump which is not for pool use.

Oooh, this just gave me a great idea! One of our closest couple friends are chemists. Duh me. He's a professor and she's in pharmaceuticals. Surely they have an extra something lying around I could borrow in exchange for unlimited pool time (which they basically already have anyway!).

This is what I went with, have it set up as a mini lab right off of the pool. Lab 1 Lab 2
I bought the magnetic stirrer, some glass beakers, and the graduated cylinders all on Amazon for less than $50 total.

Or you could have had a Speedstir for $44.90 plus shipping...

Or you could support TFP for $100 (https://www.troublefreepool.com/blog/2019/01/22/become-a-tfp-supporter/) since and get $35 in gift certificates to apply to a Speedstir. It comes with a bean. And a product from the TFP store. And I think possibly a future discount for TFP stuff? (I might be wrong about that last point)

Ooh.. those are nice.. you can control the stir rate too! .. So if you have a laboratory grade magnetic stirrer in your basement I would like to make your acquaintance, I sir, have a Geiger counter in my garage, just 'cause..

You guys can get together with my husband, who has two oscilloscope. For... reasons.

LOL... we can gather the kiddies around the fire place, next to a perfectly maintained TFP pool, and wax poetic exchanging stories of our out dated technology from days gone by!

Looks like I started a trend hahaha

I’m in, $40AUD or ~$30USD delivered off ebay. I’ll use this for inside testing, calcium, salt, borate and still keep my SpeedStir for poolside testing of FC and TA where needed. I just need to build the house to use it in...
