Is there a video on using the TF-PRO Kit?

[BRebey]

I'm considering buying a TF-PRO, but I'm not convinced it's easier to read than test strips, nor about how easy and/or fast it is to use.

Is there a video anywhere that goes through how to complete a full battery of tests with the TF-PRO?

The only difference is that you use the big round tube for all the tests but pH, you don't have the comparator block with a large comparator tube. (last one that doesn't come through with a screen shot is CH.

Welcome to the forum.
This is an older YT, but the tests are all the same.

Test strips are not a viable way to manage pool water chemistry.

I use that exact kit and had used test strips on a prior above ground.

Videos aside I can tell you a couple things:
1. The test strips had me chasing ghosts. After getting the kit for my in ground and still having some strips, I did parallel tests. The kit was consistent and the strips were all over the board test to test. Doesn’t really matter how fast they are if they don’t give the right result consistently.
2. When I got the kit I was like “wow this is a lot” with all the bottles and drop counts. I can now do all the tests on autopilot, especially the frequent ones like pH and Cl.
3. Any loss of speed is more than made up by the accuracy and consistency of the tests and not having to always be trying to tweak chemicals and chase incorrect readings. And also speed loss is also on the order of a couple minutes — nothing to worry about.
