The Green Pool

I used to own a Taylor DPD kit, I was pretty good with it. The FAS-DPD titration test is so much easier and clearer that I'm sure neither of you has used one.

You'll only deny it until you try it.

There is a difference between denial and asking questions to clarify, BTW I have order the FAS-DPD as I need higher and accurate readings than what the DPD can give me.

I think you'll be glad you ordered the FAS-DPD.

Regarding reliable vs accurate--- OTO is reliable in that it will not bleach out at high chlorine levels, will give you ballpark figures, etc but not accurate meaning it is hard to differentiate between 4 and 6 for example. Very subjective as it depends on user interpretation of the colors.

Here is a chart that may make it easier to understand what I am trying to explain.

EDIT to add - Why would you need both? You don't really. You can use FAS-DPD exclusively but it is more expensive than OTO testing and takes a little longer. OTO is handy for quick daily checks.

I'm sorry if I've offended you, I guess my little joke wasn't funny.

Please check back after you use it and let us know how you like it.

Takes a lot more than that to offend me!

I have no doubt I will like it better.

Hard to believe that a week ago this pool was full of tadpoles.
