Ps234

[PoolDoc]

I know this is probably the wrong place to post this but I couldnt see where it would fit.

I have had the PS233 for a couple years. And now I see that a new PS234 is out, Is it better then the 233?

Hi Poolidiot;

This section is probably the best place for this question, so that's fine.

As CarlD said, the PS234 is not 'better' than the PS233, if you are already succeeding with it. I hope the instructions and layout will make it a little easier to learn than the PS233, but the tests are the same.

The links for all the differences are posted, but here are some that I think signficant:

• Bottles are labeled and colored by test, not product number. Eg, instead of using bottles labled R0870, R0871, and R0003 for the FAS / DPD chlorine test, you now use bottles labeled FAS-DPD #1, #2, & #3
• I've made some further efforts to 'right size' reagent quantities. So, the ALK #1 and ALK #2 are now 1/2 oz instead of 3/4 oz, but the CYA #1 (R0013) included refill is now 8oz instead of 4oz.
• Enough test charts, for an entire summer, are now printed on water resistant paper, and included.
• There's a sample bottle, with a dispenser lid, to make it easier to fill the various test vials.
• There's an optional included test for salt (chloride).

There is one more point to consider, for some. Once we have the kits in stock, and ready to ship on order, I'm going to discontinue all reagents, refills, and support for all PS23x kits prior to the PS233. For this reason, I've made the PS234 available at a discount to anyone who's ever purchased a complete testkit from me. For kit owners, a new PS234 should cost less than a complete set of refills.

There will also be a series of minor changes, within the PS234. For example, now that we are printing labels with a color laser, I can include a set of color bars for the OTO kit, that allows estimation of higher levels of chlorine. I ran one set of test the other day, and found that it will take some more work, but that I will be able to do this. (See the image below).

There are several minor container and vial improvements that we'll be making, as we are able.

Hope this gives you the info you need.
