???Saltwater Test Kits???

[SaltyFlip]

Anybody use AquaPharm's Saltwater Master Test Kit? I can't seem to find the expiration for it. Flipped the box upside down, left and right and I can't find it.

Also, I have a pH & NH3 (ammonia) test kit that recently expired...how do you go about and dispose of expired test kit chemicals?

Edit: Another thing, which test kit do you use and which have you found to be the most accurate?

Never used the aquapharm's
but to mine experience i find Either Salifer or Elos test kit
the most accurate then again that's IMO

AquaPharm...assuming you mean API. Their kits are fine. They no longer put expiration dates on them, just codes.

You can phone them and give them the code and they will tell you when it expires.
IMO there is nothing wrong with their kits, but some folks have issues reading the results on some of the tests.

I think their ammonia, nitrite nitrate and PH kits do a fine & accurate job. I've never compared the Ca, Alk kits to Salifert or Elso , so I can't give an opinion on those but see no reason - if done correctly - that there should be an issue with those either.

Thanks to both. I might try another brand after I know that what I have is expired. do the agents & counter-agents in the tests even expire? I can't seem to find an article on them.

Yes, it is the reagents that expire.
