mms or cds questions

I've written Jim to ask him what kind of test result numbers we are looking for with the chlorine testing strips.

Im a chemist, that the test you need to buy. You going to test chlorine available in water. There different trade mark using different concentration determination or different scale colors, You need to look for the one that can check higher concentration of available chlorine.

On Page 53 of "Master Mineral of the Third Milleniun" of Jim Humble book said to buy those test trip to test your activate solution.
He also said that even the package does not said that can be use for chlorine dioxide, you can used it.

God bless you!

I just checked Jim's book. Here's the quote:

"However, many juices will destroy the MMS and you will wind up
with a drink that has no value. One way to be certain that your juice
doesn’t destroy your MMS is to obtain chlorine test strips from a pool
store. These strips also indicate chlorine dioxide (activated MMS)
although it doesn’t say so on the package, and they will tell you right
away if your juice is killing the MMS or not. If you buy a package of
strips you can use sharp scissors to cut the strips lengthwise down
the middle to double the number of strips you have. It is always nice
to have strips to just check for sure that you actually have chlorine
dioxide."

I don't know how I missed that!! I will get some chlorine test strips and compare with the clo2 strips I have. Getting the clo2 strips is a pain here.

After several trips around my town I found no chlorine test strips in a suitable ppm range that would be useful. If I have to order in test strips - I might as well get Chlorine Dioxide strips. So mission abandoned.

Martin, I think there is a way to use those pool CLO2 strips.

What were the ppm ranges in the test strips you found?

Sorry - Just saw your post.

I never purchased any - so only gained information peering through the security blister packaging. As I recall the scale was 1 - 10 and I don't think it was specified that was a ppm scale. I think they were keeping it dumbed down for Joe public pool owners - not an attitude I wish to encourage.
