SampleSizer - Why did I wait so long to get it?

[AUSpool]

I’ve never seen one in action before. I thought they were a fill and tip type of thing. I’m going straight to ebay to see what I can find.

So here's a weird one... I think it's better than sliced bread. My wife hates it. When I showed her how great it was she replied "that's stupid". I said what do you mean? She said "look, it spills all over. It's stupid and I can't believe you paid for this!" Her friends all agree. Wow! Is this a female thing?

Tell her she can take care of the pool any way she wants.

I love my speed stir, but am on the fence with regards to the sample sizer. I always used a bottle with a small cap that allows me to easily add water until I hit either 10 or 25ml. I purchased a sample sizer about two months ago, and while it works, I don't find it any easier to measure samples. And it does make a mess - I never spill water with my other method.

Let me be clear I love my sample sizer and I know my wife is always right... clear as mud, right?

Let me be clear, I love my wife, but my sample sizer is always right.

Its another toy thats not available to us Aussies. I did find one at ~$20 but the cheapest shipping was $45. I guess I’ll have to stick with the old fill and tip method for now.

I have been singing the praises of the sample sizer for a while now. Who cares about spill over, I’m always filling over my sink anyway. The sample sizer and speed stir are Indispensable as far as I’m concerned.

Let me be clear

Y’all want to be right ? Or Happy. There are only 2 choices.

 

[Katodude]

I thought I was clear earlier, I am married, which makes me both not right, and told that I am happy.

Lost my SpeedStir & SampleSizer while doing a kitchen remodel. Freaked out and bought both again. Then I found out where I hid them. Now I have two of each.

I thought I could make my own but it turns out it’s harder than I thought. I found an old tube that produced 11.5ml but I don’t use that sample size.

@jseyfert3 Thanks, I just got the SpeedStir based on your advice in a previous thread of mine. Now I'm getting two more tubes, a SpeedSample and two more beans. No question this will make my testing go by in a couple minutes. The measuring and dumping and wrinsing take an exorbitant amount of time now that you think of it: finding a wash rag, filling in excess, using a dropper to withdraw the excess until I have the correct sample size, getting up to go to the sink or the pool each time. Its more amatter about paying a nominal amount to buy some of my time back, and I will likely test more frequently.

I'm in the minority, but I still prefer my syringe. Its quick, no mess and I can get my measurement just about to the drop.

I use mine by the pool so the spill goes back into the pool, easy peasy
