Welcome to our forum.
I'm not sure if my taylor kit has an issue? What could cause this?
And, i also added the thiosulfate drops prior to the phenol red to neutralize the chlorine.
My bromine (floater) is at 3-4PPM.
how can the PH be 8 on the taylor and low 7s on the strips (2 unique strip makers too).
Thanks all. I have the K-2005 complete (high). I'm sure it is much more accurate than the strips. Thats why i bought it., but man, how can the PH be 8 on the taylor and low 7s on the strips (2 unique strip makers too). Guess the only way is to bring it to a dealer to test.
How often should I have to refill the regents in the K-2005?
I posted the original post here and wanted to follow up. There is definitely an issue with the taylor test kit, or something in the water interfering with the PH test.I took a sample of tap water and tested it. The test strips (2 brands) both came up with ph sub 7 (6.7 or so). The taylor kit gives me a purple/red result that is closest to 8.0. The tests for alk, calcium, and chlorine/bromine all matched between the strips and the taylor kit (40, 100, <1, respectively).So what is happening? I've tried adding the thiosulfate in 1, 2, and 5 drops. The tap water test removes that from the equation anyway.Perplexed.
Where's the best place to get a Taylor test kit? How much would I expect to pay?Thanks,Bluesman 8-)
