PH spiking

There are 2 different Taylor ph reagents- r0004 & r0014.
many people have accidentally bought or received the wrong one. The fact that this ph thing is different than usual & you have new reagents warrants a check/confirmation.

It's the r0004, the same one that came with my "kit". And the spiking came before I started the new bottle. But thanks, I did not know there was more than one.

I can't see a reason to try when I have this many sparkles with no borates. It already HURTS to look at, I don't want it to possibly hurt even more.

That said, I'd totally try them in a hot tub. It's a $200(?) experiment in my pool.

It is hard to explain, but to my eyes it makes the water look more "chunky" maybe. Maybe I mean faceted. Almost like instead of lots of little sparkles, it looks like there are lots of big crystals in the water? Maybe.

Maybe I am just imagining it.
