Hi all,
I've been testing with the TF-100 for years, which includes the K-1000 test and its chlorine/pH comparator block. Now I've just gotten the TF-Pro test kit (which I love, always wanted one of those magnetic stirrers...) and it's got the exact same drops for chlorine and pH but the colors in the comparator are a bit different. Can I assume one is more accurate than the other or are they both made to the same tolerances? Are they both made by Taylor? I assume the one from the TF-100 is since it comes in the blue Taylor K-1000 box. It's got a flexible black one-piece cap; the new one has two separate red/yellow hard plastic caps.
Interestingly, on the old block, I can't tell the difference between the 2 and 3 colors for chlorine... on the new block, I can't tell the difference between the 1 and the 2 colors. And the pH colors on the old block are all a bit darker than the pH colors on the new block.
Thanks for your thoughts on this troublesome comparator conundrum.
