Hi again

Might be worth waiting till next week as it should warm up here, fingers crossed :)

Thanks for that Caroline, I think the new version is more expensive.
Re your Lovibond Checkit Direct machine, does it give you a digital reading or do you have to compare colours via discs?

Scuba 2 water tester

hi all
I'm considering buying a Lovibond Scuba 2 (new model to market next month) for testing our pool water.

All suggestions appreciated.
