Not a bad idea, not to complain but rather to give him the data point. I did leave them in my garage in Vegas, so they got hot.You should email Jonas from abc. He said his reagents work for 3-5 years.

Oakland. Actually got it to work.Where are you located?
Depending on my travel and commitments, I can probably service the unit for you if you're not in a rush.
Jonas already wrote back and said one other person in Australia had the same thing happen with their B going bad after being left in a hot attic for a long time like I did in my hot garage. Apparently (go figure) he includes instructions to not store in high heat, but said thank you for the data point and he may refine his communication to emphasize to not do that and store in a cool dry place. He seems like a super nice and smart guy and I will continue to use and recommend his products.You should email Jonas from abc. He said his reagents work for 3-5 years.
That’s a useful reminder to the rest of us, since I store most of my reefing supplies in the garage and it can get hotJonas already wrote back and said one other person in Australia had the same thing happen with their B going bad after being left in a hot attic for a long time like I did in my hot garage.

How much do you care about buying new reagents? Chemical degradation is usually somewhat analog in that the hotter and the longer the worse it is. The reagent will be fine until it isn't. I would try to find an indoor closet floor if possible and I will be doing so in the future.Define “hot”? Vegas hot or Oakland hot (possibly 90’s in summer)

I think Walnut Creek hot is similar to Las Vegas hot. Above 90F all summer, often 100F+, occasionally 110F. Not unusual for us to beat out Death Valley. Depends more on if your garage has southerly exposure and insulation. Mine never gets as hot as it is outside in the summer, but not unusual to be 90F inside the garage.Define “hot”?

I get a test b failure on the Trident, and known good reagents don't do that.how do you actually know when the reagents go bad?
Hmm I used some older reagent as well. Maybe my issue is just my reagent too.I get a test b failure on the Trident, and known good reagents don't do that.
Good to know that.I get a test b failure on the Trident, and known good reagents don't do that.
Yup my B reagent was bad.I get a test b failure on the Trident, and known good reagents don't do that.
