Hey all, in the instructions for testing calcium it states "Add R-0012 one drop at a time until color changes to blue" There is no mention about stirring, and I have noticed the results are different between stirring and not. I've been following the directions and not stirring but I wanted to make sure it wasn't an oversight. Any insight would be great. Thanks!

I rarely do the ch test so I hadn’t really ever noticed that omission in the instructions. My kit instructions are older & I just checked, they don’t mention swirling either. That is something easily remedied though. Good catch!
It does however mention swirling here

@Sarah and Nate can probably easily update this in the future.

Thanks for all the responses, maybe one day I can tell the story of how I got the instructions to the TFT kit changed, haha.
Hi @Jracka ,
Thank you (and thank you @Mdragger88 ) for bringing this to my attention. While it seems obvious, our kit aims to be the most user-friendly on the market, and highly detailed instructions are the most important part of that. I will look into this immediately and change it appropriately.
