Does anyone know where to buy additional pills for the autoaqua smart stir? I just spent 12 minutes shaking vials and think its time for a stirrer. I can find the smart stir all over but no extra pills anywhere. Coralview as them listed and on sale (clearance?) but they will not sell them to the public per the website. Premium aquatics has them listed as discontinued. There are probably alternatives but this is all new tech for me and don't have the stirrer yet to measure the pill and wont buy one until I know I can get pills.
I lost the original ones first week I had Smart Stirrer - right down the drain with tested water.

Got these off Amazon, comes in packs of 2; I got 2 packs and keep one in a little baggie dedicated to each test kit. Helps, but still have to pause when pouring water out.

These are good quality and create the same lvl of stir action.

Thanks. I ended up getting the ones below and they are identical to the ones that came with the stirrer. They were $10 for 25 of them when I purchased.
EDIT : I'm lucky and have a stainless sink and they stick to the sink and don't go down the drain if I drop them.

Much better pricing then what I got!

I’ll keep those bookmarked cause I have an old sink with no drain protection and more importantly, I’m clumsy

I'm clumsy and forgetful. The only reason I know they stick to the sink is because I hear the tink sound when I dump the cuvettes and have forgotten to remove them lol
