Wasn't sure where to post so I figured it's got alot to do with "testing a balancing" so here it goes.
I've always struggled reading the vial water level in the chlorine test as the inked markings never last long. I have bought several spares over the years and they're great when new but then before you know it I was back to square one possibly because I hate putting it back in the kit still wet so I'd dry it with soft paper towel but obviously wasn't soft enough so then I resorted to microfiber which is better but that just meant the ink wearing off takes longer and eventually find myself squinting and twisting at different lighting angles to finally see a good level. For long I've been thinking how to put back the fine lines but never came up with a 100% solution till one day this popped into my head. It's easy, simple and mostly available in lots of households today, it's the P-touch or similar label maker with the many font and label styles making organization easy and here was one more use for it. I printed the 5,10 and 25 and trimmed off before and after the number to keep it as small as possible and used the top edge to align with its perspective level. This has been making my testing much easier so I figured to spread the wealth for others to benefit.
