I'm in the middle of a SLAM and I'm almost out of reagent! I have more ordered, but it won't get here until Friday. I estimate that I have 3-4 tests left. I was thinking of reducing testing to morning and night while continuing to add about same amount of chlorine as I have been until I get the refill. What are your thoughts on this or do you have any other suggestions? I'm already using the 10 ml sample to conserve.

While not quite as accurate, you can use a 5 ML water sample size (one scoop pf powder) so that each drop equals one FC. That should help.

I had the same problem. After looking for a local supply. I found reagent at Leslies Pool Store.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll switch to 5 ml samples and if I run out I'll go to Leslie's.
This is great info! Thanks. I'm on day 6 of a SLAM and am running out of reagent too! Thanks

Our local Leslie’s employee didn’t even know what r-0871 or dpd powder was & they didn’t have any.
