    Default HTH 6-Way Drop Test vs the Older HTH 5-Way Drop Test

    I've been wondering what has changed from the old HTH 5-Way Drop Kit to the new 6-Way. Answer? Only the nice box the 5-Way came in...and the price, about $8 more.

    So here's my old 5-Way on the left and the 6-Way I bought today. (the OTO and pH on the original ran out and are replaced with generics). If you click on the image you should see it full size.

    So what is the additional test in the 6-way?

    The OTO Bromine test, which is, of course, the same as the OTO TC test, with a different scale, is the "sixth test". In other words, there is no difference in the test kits, just the label. Oh, and the nifty box that they no longer provide.
