Salifert Numbers Fading Fast

[john.m.cole3]

I have an issue with the syringes salifert provides with each test kit. after about 3 weeks, the little lines and numbers fade away rendering the syringe useless. Mine are always at the top where it reads 1.0 ml. Does anyone else have this problem? Have a solution? Or could recommend an after market syringe?

Keep your salty fingers off the print.....mine last forever if I'm a little conscientious about it. If I forget, it's the same as you describe....within 2 - 3 uses the print is half gone. Salty fingerprints seem to be the main problem though....so just don't touch the print. :) (I think those syringes are dirt cheap if you wanted to buy a box of extras.....I've considered it, but the problem never actually got that bad. The whole kit is disposable, after all.
