Over last six months now understanding more about testing and maintenance. Started out with Taylor K-1004 as that’s what was available here locally in Spain. Quickly moved up to K-1005 by mail order after I discovered TFP and needed to test CYA. Kits here are 50% more expensive compared to US pricing. My fault but I have duplicate reagents with some never going to be used e.g. R-0016 base demand and little use now for acid demand using Poolmath.
But the DPD test for TC and subsequent CC appears to be flawed unless I’m missing something. I can’t see how you can tell the subtle difference in color for 0.5ppm TC/CC ? If there are huge amounts of CC but you would want to SLAM before this.
Now realise the importance of the recommended FAS-DPD but at least I’ll use the R-0003!!
I wish we had the equivalent of TF Testkits over here to get just the right make up for testing.
What is a good expiry date for R-870/1 as the last kit contained some with short date.
