We just opened our pool. I checked the expiration dates on all my Reagents and they all show a date of late 2025 (after pool season is done) or 2026 before expiring. I kept them in the house over the winter. They should all be good still for this year correct?
 
Should be.
Best practice is to buy a complete set of refills each year when TFTestkits runs the spring sale. Typically month of march.

The R0870 powder and the R0014 pH reagent are those that go bad the quickest.

How/where do you store them when it's not winter?
Best storage for reagents is in a climate controlled space - inside the house.
Mine stay indoors and I test everything at the kitchen sink - except the CYA test, which I do outdoors after I mix the pool water and reagent.
