I have a TF-100 test kit and in the middle of a SLAM. I am about to run out of the R-0871 reagent and my reorder will not get here for a couple more days. None of the local pool stores carry that particular reagent nor, do they carry the Taylor K-1515 test kits. Is there an equivalent test kit on the market that can tide me over until my order arrives?
 
Not sure about an equivalent replacement but you could go to 5ml pool water sample each drop would be approx 1ppm FC instead of .5 might stretch things till you get your replacement. This will increase your margin of error by as much as a couple ppm but since your are slaming I think it should be OK at the very least you should not lose ground and have to start over.
 
To try to save reagent I have been diluting my sample, 5ml pool water to 5ml distilled water, then doubling my drop count. I figure that will get me in the ball park with my levels. Even doing that and limiting the number of times I test per day I am running out of reagent.
