You should be able to get the salt water test kit easily. The chemical used is silver nitrate. This reacts with potassium dichromate indicator to give the red color of potassium nitrate.

The reason they don't have too many in stock, is that the test kit lasts a LOT longer than the test strips at about a third the price, about $8.00.

Hi Pat,

It looks like you've created a thread worth making a 'sticky', but it's a bit cluttered with followup OT items. If you would, post a copy again, and then PM me when you have done. I'll add a 'threatening' follow-on , asking people who know (including Sean & Mark) to offer corrections. Once corrected (something I can't do, never having had a SWG), I'll 'sticky' it.

Oh, and about the K-1766 -- were you really able to get one for $8? It currently lists for $20.75, and I thought I was offering a real deal on the PS234S. But, if you can get one for $8, it's not a deal. AgNO3 prices *are* way up, so it's possible that the older price was much lower -- I haven't looked through old Taylor price lists. And, a very quick 'Google' for K-1766 showed prices between $24 and $35.
