DPD powder

So when you say 2 scoops, what scoops are you referring too, Ben's scoop (White) or Taylor's (Blue)?

And are those level scoops, rounded scoops, heaping scoops?

Taylor scoops (blue) --- Level

Edit --- Didn't know there was more than one since Taylor makes the reagent.

I've seen both scoops, The poolsolutions scoop is much bigger than the taylor. I've tried the 10 ml test with 1/2 and whole scoops of Ben's scoop, and the test was the same for normal levels of chlorine. If I'm measuring shock level chlorine, I make sure I get a whole scoop just to be safe

Taylor scoops (blue) --- Level

That explains it, you are supposed to use 2 scoops when using the Taylor scoop. Ben, the forum moderator, puts a larger scoop in his kits (he does use Taylor DPD powder). They are twice the size of the Taylor scoop so you only need one scoop. I think he did this to make it just that much easier. Ben has really put a lot of thought into his kits. The size of the re-agents is another example. He matches volumes of re agents to the amounts required for testing with the idea that you should use both chemicals required for any given test up at or about the same time. His kit is a combination of a a coupe of the Taylor kits at a great price.
