Re: Drop Based Borate Test Kit.
I tend to agree with chem geek as to what is in the kit. It is functionally going to give you the equivalent of the old (and I believe discontinued) Proteam borate test kit and will be the indicator dye (bromthymol blue, not bromcresol green) and mannitol. The test is time consuming and I really feel the LaMotte strips profise enough precision for borate testing in a pool (having tested MANY times with both the Proteam kit and the LaMotte strips and gotten resutls that were "close enough for government work" every time!
Perhaps giroup01 can comment on this. I know he has had some links with the company selling this but his sig now indicates he is retired.
However, it seems that private messages have been disabled in the fourm so I cannot contact him even though he is currently online.
