Winter and the TF-100

[weird_tolkienish_f]

Hello,

I tested with the TF-100 and received what I thought were some pretty bizarre results (like TA being 440?). I had my kit outside in a shed for several harsh winters over the years. Is it possible that the kit was ruined by freezing temperatures?

Anyway, I think I will just go ahead and order a whole new kit.

The chemicals aren't going to be any good after a year of outside storage. You can get a refill for $45.

You can buy just the refills much cheaper.

If any of the bottles are discolored, the reagent inside is ruined.

Thanks! I will go for the refill and the stirrer as I make a darn mess trying to shake the bottles.

You won't regret getting the stirrer! Can't live without mine now.

I got a high TA reading when I first tested with my TF-100. Went to my old test...about one year old...and did a side by side. Old chemicals were faded and readings were half as high.
