You can't use the shotglass method for testing CC. CC is combined chlorine, which is chlorine that has already been "used up". Your test kit only tests total chlorine, which is the sum of combined chlorine and free (still available to work) chlorine. You can use what you've got until you get Ben's kit--he's now working hard on getting caught up. Then again, if money isn't an issue, it wouldn't hurt to have a Taylor if it's available now, and still order Ben's. Many of us have multiple test kits.
