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.
I did this test today, and it was not time consuming at all. The colour changes were easy to see and the instructions that came with the kit were concise and easy to follow.

I didn't even think to use my speed stir which I received at the same time. Oh well. Test indicated only 36ppm (I suspected I was low). I'm about to add three boxes of Mule Team and will retest in a couple days. This won't show accuracy, but it will show if the test kit works properly, as after adding three boxes, I should definitely get a higher reading when I test again.
