How do you install them? Do they get rotated into the lid? Or pushed?

You should be able to just push them in. If there’s too much resistance just rotate them into the thread

I got a set and installed them. My alk started at 9.06 with 30% regent left. Which my alk normally rises around the 30% mark.
After I went through a couple of tests the alk came down to were it was before the normal climb. 8.6 and pretty much stayed there.
I went all the way down to 5% before I changed out the regent, all the while the alk stayed steady !
The reason I didn’t mention cal and mag is because they still had almost 50% left. I’m sure the guides will allow me to get down to 5% with out the swings.
All in all I am VERY happy with the regent guides !
Thanks brasileiro561

That’s awesome to hear. Don’t forget. Once you get to 5% reset the reagent without exchanging the bottles. That will give you a few more days. When I did that to my Cal and Mag I got an extra 7 days before it was completely empty. Alk won’t give you that many days since it test 4x daily. But it’ll give you extra days for sure

Good stuff. thanks for sharing.I designed and printed this needle guide for trident reagent. it'll keep your needle straight up and down and you won't have that high calcium problem anymore. It has been tested by myself and a friend.
$25 for 3 shipped

Hydrored,
Did the Trident guides fix the high calcium readings?
Can't find a long term review on this thread.
Thanks for your input

Theres no long term review yet since i just started to share these. I tested with a friend of mine for about 6 months before i posted here. It was actually his idea to start selling this.
but I understand since this is coming from me doesn't mean much lol. so hopefully as ppl use it and starts to see results they can share with us
