Suggestions for lots of leaves

The kit that I have from a few years ago is the PS233 from Ben. I still have plenty of the solutions and test reagents. Which ones should still be good and which ones do I need to replace? Thanks.

If it has been stored in a cool dry place, then many of them are probably fine. Probably the first one to go would be the DPD powder. It probably isn't any good any longer. If it is old and gray and clumpy, I'd toss it out and buy some new. Maybe take a water sample to a reputable pool store and have them test your water and then you test, too and compare and see if you are close to what readings they get. Your test and their test need to be within a short amount of time of each other to make the comparison.

Grey and clumpy DPD powder can still be used as long as it turns the water sample pink in the presence of chlorine. You may have to swirl a little longer to get it to dissolve, or use a little more if it's really caked. This according to a person at Taylor in a telecon last year.

Thanks, Watermom and Anna. I have a lot of DPD powder left, but it is gray and clumpy. I'll try it to see if works.
