PBL, I have the 2005 kit and the color doesn't fade on the CL test(s); It takes me a couple of minutes to do both CL test... I always test early am or evening (not in the sunlight). How old is the kit? Make sure to take samples below the surface (I go as deep as I can reach).

I acutally ordered the 2006 kit and they sent me the 2005, so I'm waiting on the correct one to arrive... I'm a newbie, so that's all I can think of...
