Hello! I was just wondering if using the same syringe for dosing prime and testing water will make a difference in my testing results. (I'm saying this because I had a similar problem with dosing ammo for my cycle, and testing the water). Thank you!

I'm sure if you gave it a good rinse, it should be fine. Just for peace of mind, maybe you should get a second. I have a few spare's for that reason. I find after a while they become very tough to use, very stiff, so it's no harm having a few on hand.....

Cool thanks! I tried testing with the syringe and with just the test tube and the results were the same.
 
Hi Platies. Hi Ian.
A lot of drug stores sell 5ml dosing eyedroppers for about $3. They are fast and easy to use for drawing water for the test tubes and dosing out glut & PPs ferts. Only takes a squeeze of the fingers on the rubber bulb. one side is marked in ml and the other is in fractions of teaspoon, OS.

I believe walgreens actually gives them away for free.
