    Carrie, if you test with the 10ml sample, you'll use less of your reagents. BUT, by doing so, you'll only be able to test at .5 ppm resolution (.2 is more precise than .5). That being said, .5 is fine IMHO.

    PS, when you put the powder in, if it turns pink with one scoop that's all you need to use (save the other scoop for your next test)

    Edit: CYA won't be present until you add it, so no need to test until then (read up on that as you don't want to test right away).

    Dang shame about the Canadian monopoly. $143.50 for the 2006 with the 3/4 ounce bottles, not even the 2 ounce is an old time gouge. Nothing new, but crazy when the same kit is online in the US for $64, and the 2006 with 2 oz. bottles for $99 - and I didn't shop around much.

    Hi Eh!

    I just got 'hosed' by The Royal Life Saving Society Canada - Ontario Branch
    (Link removed by mod)
    They want $221.21 plus HST plus UPS? shipping comes to a grand total of $269.18

    It is a beauty kit though. The booklet is interesting, if not intimidating. It's pretty easy to use too.

    NOTE: the CYA tests are greedy. I figure there's 6 (maybe 8) shots at it them no more reagent. Be sure sure you're ready. I've already wasted 3 runs and I'm still below 30ppm...<sigh>
