Hi,

For testing I have been using a PS133 and an HTH 5-way(with refills from here). So basically I have a PS233 in two neat little boxes. One box for daily chlorine/pH testing, one for everything else. I may buy the PS234 next year. We'll see.

I bought a PS233r refill a few weeks ago. The container for the 10g of DPD powder does not have a spoon attached to the lid like the previous container did. Instead, it came with 2 little plastic spoons and a couple of tiny test tubes. I don't know what I am supposed to do with the test tubes. Are they just storage space for the spoons or am I supposed to use them for the test? I have been filling the chlorine test vial to the 10ml line and using 1 scoop of DPD powder like I was before. The test tubes do not hold 10ml. What are they for?

Thanks,
Bruce

They are just to keep the spoons dry. It is very important to keep the DPD powder dry, so you wouldn't want to intoduce a wet spoon.
