Strange pH test

[Poconos]

Guess I've been doing it wrong for years like George.
R-0004 used with the 44 ml comparison tube (Taylor K-2006 & PS-233)
R-0014 used with the small sample tube.
George is right.

Poconos, you beat me to it. When I read Waterbear's reply, I thought he was backwards. Was getting ready to go check just in case my mind was playing tricks on me. You saved me the trouble of getting up and going to look. Thanks!

Not only didn't I read the numbers on the bottles carefully, I also failed to see that it clearly says which comparator the reagent is for. As you all surmised, I replaced the 0004 with the 0014. What a maroon.

Thanks for the responses.

George is right.

Thanks Al

I can't believe someone gave me a negative reputation because someone else thought I was wrong! (guess who)
Thanks a lot
Sure doesn't incourage me to post anymore.

Please don't let anyone stop you from posting on the forum! Reputation points aren't always given accurately, unfortunately. Hope you'll stay a part of our forum family!

...Reputation points aren't always given accurately, unfortunately...

That's an understatement. It's surprising how often people leave negative reputation comments based on their own faulty readings of posts.

It's upsetting to come home to this nonsense. Anyone can make a mistake, and it's VERY easy to get confused about R-0004 and R-0014.

As for reputation, I ONLY leave a negative on someone probably destined for The Hall of Shame. I'll leave a Pos once in a while, but I never even check my own list very often. I do the best I can and figure there are just going to be some people who will be annoyed with me.

This forum is supposed to be about helping each other, not about ego-tripping or seeing who's the top dog. I can assure you the moderators are pretty united on this and will do what we can to KEEP the forum about helping each other.

Absolutely Carl! We want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable to take part. That is what this forum has always been about - you ask for help when you need it, and you offer advice when you can. There is no better place to come for help with your pool!
