The instructions refer to using Bromine Test Tube, but I haven't received separate bromine test tube. Am I missing something?

I believe the chlorine and bromine test tubes are one and the same even though Br is not marked.

I haven't had a chance to test the tester out. There are sites on the internet you can check on and I tried to find some instructions on this - sorry.

I used regular iodine on my arm to check for a deficiency. I never used this product I threw it out because they didn't provide instructions.

I don't have any idea about the testing. My skin did not like this product and I thought it had a very strong chemical smell.

Measures Free Chlorine, Combined Chlorine, Bromine, and pH. If pH is off, it will help you determine how much acid or alkaline to use. I like this better than test strips.

You put the water sample in the small bottle, being careful not to spill the powder in the bottle, fill to 1/2" below the top (cold water side), shake well, place on shelf and in 48 hrs, if it turns a yellow color, there's bacteria present, violet or blue, no bacteria. It does not tell you specifically which bacteria. Some reviews have reported a yellow/blue result, so it's inconclusive (my tests have all been pretty conclusive). If you get that, you might have your water tested professionally for a conclusive test. Only one test is included for each of the variants.

You should always use renew. Renew is an oxidizer and will immediately convert the BROMIcharge salt to Bromine. After adding Renew you will see a Bromine reading, giving the ISIS system time to start producing Bromine and build a reserve Bromine bank. FamilyPoolFun

We have a pool and a spa. I use the same testing kit on both, the Taylor K 2005, which you can buy on amazon. You will need to test your alkalinity, ph, and bromine. You will need chemicals to manipulate out of range findings, most importantly bromine and muriatic acid ( brings down your ph and alkalinity). You may also need alkalinity up. My ph is never low! I really like this bromine, it seems to last longer than the bromine you can buy at walmart.

Yes, they have ranges given for optimum spa chemical levels as well as pool, and say they do bromine as well as chlorine, although I've never tried to use with bromine.

I bought the Reagent tablets from Semiconductor500 thru Amazon. The tablets should be listed on the same page as the meter.

I could check better if I was at home. Currently out-of-town for a week. As I recall it was a pretty compete kit which I believe included the Test Tube and the related liquids to use. Wish I could be more certain.

I don't know. I will say this: I thought it worked great in my regular tub and someone recently told me to get chlorine test strips from a pool supply place - said she tested this and it did nothing. I've been using mine, thinking it removed the chlorine, etc. and now I want to test it! If it does work, great. If not, I'm going to be quite upset that I soaked extra long in the tub so often, believing I was not soaking up toxic chlorine!!!!!

total chlorine and total bromine are on one pad and that is from CL: 0-10 BR: 0-20 Free chlorine goes up to 20. FYI there are only 4 pads, not 5, it measures CL/BR on one, then Free CL, PH & Alkalinity on the other 3. No Hardness test.

I had the same problem. I read somewhere , that you are to do some kind of test on it. It seemed a bit confusing. Maybe the website on the bottle can give you the information. I was unsuccessful with the whole hydroponic thing. Sorry couldn't be of any help.

This product works really well when directions are followed. If you go to the Amazon website, it will tell you step-by-step instructions on how it is used. But for me, when I used it, I urinated in a small cup, just enough to reach the test line on the strip, and wait 10 seconds, remove the strip from the urine sample & place it on an upright surface surface, and it should start registering the readings for THC, Opiates, etc. I hope this helped you!

It is a great concern for everyone who has purchased this product .I stopped using this product two weeks ago for the same reason of uncertainty. Does anyone know if there is a "Mercury test kit " available to public so we can check the for the trace of mercury and Lead , if any, in the product ?

Your best bet would be to contact the reagent supplier and try to acquire the MSDS for each chemical. If they are the same, they will work. This is a great test kit. It takes me about 5 minutes to run a detailed water test, eliminates the guess work that comes with using strips.
