This thing is awesome. Makes doing the test so much easier and quicker. I recommend if you can get one to pick one up.

Especially the CH test, when you had to do like 50+ drops with all the stuff you add to your test sample.
FYI. It has come to my attention that the Taylor magnetic stirrer is being offered at a very good price at Lincoln Aquatics. I don't know how their shipping or service rates.
[EDIT]
It has come to my attention that batteries are not included in the stirrer from Lincoln Aquatics while it is included in the stirrer from TFTestkits. I am not promoting one over another and just wanted to give out information of what is available since another user posted on another website about this alternate source. I believe that TFP should be an unrestricted source of information not tied to any commercial interests.
However, one should recognize that by ordering from another vendor, one is depriving revenue from a small business (TFTestkits) that is also dedicated towards helping people through TFP. Your purchases are more than just economic choices, but social ones as well.

I ordered it with my TF-100 kit. It really helps. I also ordered a vial just for my chlorine tests along with a sample sizer
This vid shows how to use the sample sizer:

New to all this, being useing just test strips so far so I just bought the TF-100 Test Kit, K-1766 Taylor Salt Test and yes the SpeedStir Magnetic Stirrer. Hope that will cover all my testing needs for awhile? Anything else I should need folks?
That just about covers it. You'll love the speedstir when you get it.
Have you had your well tested for metals? You can buy Iron and copper tests but I'm not sure they're worth the cost unless you have a changing source of fill water.

This thing is awesome. Just a little help for those who may experience the metal part that goes in the water is not spinning as fast as it once was. If this happens and it does not seem to spin that well, change the batteries out. I did this and it went back to normal.
I ordered my test kit and stir and salt test kit last thursday and it arrived sat. got to gewt to testing now!
