I just ordered one too. The PH test kit is the one I am having the most
trouble reading.

Pinpoint ordered. I should have it tomorrow. I hope the 8.0 is really
8.2
and I am misreading the color.

I've found the Salifert test kits to be best, except for pH - imho. I
use a
Pinpoint Monitor for that, and finally *know* what the pH is. Heck,
when
the
meter said 8.3, I ran for my Salifert test kit to see it finally match
that
kelly green color. It didn't, btw.
I do know that you need to read your results under normal daylight - yet
not
direct sunlight. Looking at your test results under fluorescents won't
make
things easier, I guarantee you. So I do my tests indoors, and step
outside for
a minute to look down on the color chart and vial. I do my tests on
Saturdays,
during the afternoon when the sun has shifted to the front of the house
and away
from me.

I too am beginning to realize that I must have a slight color

great
difficulty with it. I keep having to call in my wife to double check
me.....
After looking in to it, it seems that this is not to uncommon in men
and
will continue to get worse with age.
So far, I have had good luck with the fastest kits that have the color
chips
built into the testing container. I have also been able to judge the
AP
DryTab kits fairly well, but am concerned about their accuracy.
I have been searching for the right kits for myself for sometime now.
I
had
just never imagined that it could be a color recognition problem.... I
am
thinking about putting my Hagen kit up on ebay and trying something
else...

I am very color deficiant. I don't see colors quite the same way
as
most
people do and therefore I have a real problem telling the difference
between
subtle colors like those in most test kits.
If anyone here has the same problem and can direct me to a test kit
that
is
easier to use, please, please, send me a link. My wife is getting
tired
of
"Honey, which color does this match to ?"
