Looks like I have a lot of learning to do. I suppose I will just take some

Naw, it's pretty easy.
There are how-to videos on youtube that show how to run the tests, even. K-2006 Completeâ„¢ Kit with FAS-DPD - YouTube

I did my first one last night, it seems daunting, but the instructions on the lid of the box are clear. The toughest part was filling the tubes to the right mark and swirling enough... that would be my advice for a first timer, swirl swirl swirl... I think I may have messed up a test because of insufficient swirling.

Purchase a speed stir. It makes life much easier. My Grandson loves watching. He is slowly moving towards my pool boy..well, testing anyway. He isn't much of a fan of brushing and vacuuming.
yeah, I know! I They were back-ordered I think when I looked it up... might still be, I have to check with Lowry or get it shipped to a relative in the US and then to me.

Speedstir is the way to go. Received mine a week ago. Makes it so much easier and more efficient. Nice to have true fc readings to boot.
This reminds me of a question I wanted to ask.
Particularly for the CC test, how clear is clear when adding reagents? I find myself sometimes adding "one more drop" because I still see a tiny hint of colour. Should the sample be water clear, or when the majority colour shift happens?
Never mind, before someone posts the Extended Kit instructions, I just re-read them.. it says "The pink color may become extremely faint before it goes away. Make sure that the sample goes completely clear." Got it! Last CC test I did, I got a faint pink colour that went away with one drop... so 0.2 reading, I was wondering if that test was even worth it.
