Default IS THERE A BETTER TEST KIT

Selling only to pet stores is not that big of a limit.

But to answer your question, if you owned a pet store, you
would appreciate it if the manufacture you bought from did
not sell to you, and then turn around and sell to mail
order cheaper that they sold to you.

That's because they sell to pet stores only.


Why would they limit their target market so much?

Many companies sell wholesale only. Retailers need licenses in some areas and
have to collect sales taxes in their locations. These are just two reasons
companies would restrict their markets.

They are not, by selling to retailers only they guarantee a competitive
price. They don't want to compete with their primary customers.

I use these tests and I follow instructions and compare colours holding sample vial over WHITE background. To get WHITE background you CANNOT put the vial right at the colour scale because your will cause the white ambient light go through the colour vial once, then hit the white background colouring it, and go back toward your eyes. In effect you are watching at the test tube placed on the already coloured background with the colour light shining through it.
