FAS-DPD Testing for the colorblind

[apoolman]

Has anyone else tried this CL test method? I am a colorblind CPO. It really works great.

It is also the most accurate way to test for free and combined chlorine,especially at levels above 5 ppm

This method is great for the color blind. I can get my CL readings within .5ppm of the actual which is acceptable to me.

Now if someone would come up with a color blind friendly way to read the PH that would be excellent. Although, my girlfriend is very sufficient at letting me know what the PH is

Now please don't spam me regarding ORP meters because from my research they are not near as reliable as I need unless I plan on spending plenty of money!

It's not an ORP meter but a pH meter and LaMotte has a decent one for under $100. I've used it for saltwater reef tanks.
ORP meters measure the redox potential of the water--in -other words, is there any available oxidizer (I won't say sanitizer becuase they will also measure Non chlorine shock) in the water.

Hey waterbear I appreciate it. I was in on some discussions last year regarding the ORP meters as well as the pH meters and they seem more of a hassle than it's worth with the calibration and so forth.

Something that has changed between now and then is that my girlfriend now lives with me so testing the pH is much easier

I can do the Ph but the CAL levels, ARUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I know Red looks nothing like blue but it is that in-between color when the red "breaks" and transitions to blue on the High scale. Then you have to dump it out and do the low scale to get it down to the closest 10PPM.

I want a digital everything meter that costs $1000.00. INLINE, WI-FI so I can sit in my car and get the readings without leaving the AC of my car. AHAHAHAH!!!!!!
