If cost is the issue,change the schedule to test less so it lasts longer

I think it's most stores never have a solid stock of them.

I buy 6 month and program it to run alk once a day and combo once a day using the needle guides it lasts about year

I run ABC reagents. I programmed my apex to test alkalinity 5 times per day and Cal/Mg once per day. I don’t want the Ca/Mg to sit stagnant in the lines too long. It may clog. I buy the 8 bottles of alkalinity for $30... that’s like 6 months worth of alkalinity testing, way cheaper. Single bottles of Ca/Mg now last 3-4 months. I have changed the default ratio of Alk to Ca/Mg required by the Trident. Alk is King. Ca/Mg don’t matter or change nearly as much… I wouldn’t test if I didn’t want to avoid the lines getting clogged. I guess you could say my Trident has been converted to an Alkatronic.

You can manually program the Trident when you log into Local.Apex or whatever IP address is assigned to your Apex controller. Below is a video on how to manually control your Trident’s testing schedule.



As for a difference, just run a calibration with the calibration solution provided by ABC. I noticed a small difference between the reagents before re-calibration.
