The Puffer Forum

Well thank you LilGreenPuffer. I do appreciate the little white flag. Kind words go a long way. So- I know the test strips are not as accurate, which is why I bought the master kit. However - what good is a more accurate test when I don't find the time to do it. My kids are 6,2 & 1, so I'm tryin...

Wow. I am a grown woman, not a child nor am I completely dense. I only said good because I hadn't checked the water, but I am confident that the numbers were 0, or very close to it.
