Reagent shelf life

[Spitdog]

I need to buy some more Reagents, mainly 0871 for testing chlorine. If I buy a larger supply will it go bad in 3 or 4 yrs.

Yes. Each reagent has a slightly different shelf life. Taylor says everything is one year, but we no that is BS. I believe R-0871 is the ones in the lower end of actual shelf life usually usable for 2 seasons or about 18 months.
