Hi Martin

Looks like I have lost my instructions too but I have found them on the net. Here are a couple of links.

If these don't work this is the important bit

1. Rinse the test vial with the water to be tested
2. Fill the test vial to the 5 ml (cc) mark with the water to be tested.
3. Hold the reagent bottle #1 upside down and add 7 drops to the test vial
4. Close vial and shake gently.
5. Let the vial stand for 10 seconds; then add 7 drops of the reagent bottle # 2 to the test vial
6. Shake the vial again.
7. Allow 2 to 5 minutes for the development of the color
8. Hold vial and the color scale vertically and match the coloring of the test solution with the
closest color on the color scale. Read the corresponding value.​

After each test, rinse vial thoroughly with tap wate
