    The only good alternative is an electronic tester but the probes need calibrated and replaced periodically.
    Am I missing something? What about Ben's Kit?

    fcfrey, thanks. I was afraid of that. I do have Ben's kit on order...still waiting.

    The good news about the AquaChem kit is that they will sent you a complete refill set free...just by calling and requesting.

    Actually - the PH test is probably okay for any chlorine level under 10ppm. I have my chlorine level at 4~6ppm and the PH test is the same as when the chlorine has dropped to 1ppm.

    Good luck my Aqua-chem refill has been on order since Aug 21 and I still haven't seen it in the mail. I need some reagent for my cya. They said they would just send a complete refill kit all three times I have called. Others have had better luck from what I've read on the forum. Mr Murphy just has a way of making things like this for me every time.

    AquaChem told me to expect delivery in three weeks...so we'll see.
