Default Test Kits suck

Just wanted to vent some steam on test kits and get some opinions at the same time.
I currently use a Hagen test kit which by the way sucks. :twisted:
I find it hard to determine what the reading is and which way of looking at it is the most accurate. Sometimes I hold it up to the light/sun and other times I dont and depending on which way you hold it the colour completely changes. I dont know which is better. :shock:

The other thing that really makes me mad is the fact that all the bottles are different sizes and usually you need the same number of drops from each bottle to complete the test. So you do 10 tests unless of corse its a Calcium test and then you only get 2 and the smallest bottle is already empty, so its off to the store to buy another whole kit while all you really need is one bottle. You think that the scientists you created these tests would be smart enough to figure out that you need more of some chemicals and less of others.

I also hate the fact that you can only by small 10 to 20 test kits. Why cant I go out and buy a 100 test kit. Save me from going back and forth every couple months.

These are you some of my thoughts not yours IM JOE SPORTS

Thanks all for letting me vent

oh yeah and the opinions part.
What kind of test kits are you using and who has the best price.
Do you find them better then Hagen.
Thanks
Josh
