API test kit question

[mikem691]

I just got my first master test kit and when done testing I am rinsing with tap water and shaking out excess water and letting the tubes air dry. Is this ok or is there a different way that it should be done.

Nope, you got it. That's standard practice. I use RO water to rinse but that's only because I have couple RO taps on my sink.

I do it the same way.

Same here

I do that but I take a paper towel and dry it out. You'd be surprised at the remaining color in the tubes!

+1 Rinse in the sink & dry w/paper towel.
