Is tek-trol available in smaller amounts than 1 gallon sizes?

Yes, check out Cutler Supply.

Looking at Cutler Supply, I only saw gal and aerosol cans. Smith Poultry Supply 14000 W. 215th St., Bucyrus, KS 66013-9519 has qts. See description below.

Ph. 913-879-2587  - 7:30 A. M. - 3 P. M  CST  Monday-Friday 

24-hour Fax.  913-533-2497 

Minimum order $10.00 


Tek-Trol Concentrate - Mix 1/2 oz. with 1 gal. of water to sanitize eggs, equipment, brooders, etc. Federally accepted toxicity testing indicates that Tek-Trol, when used at the recommended dilutions, is no threat to the health of people or birds. Gas chromatography studies and dye penetration testing indicated that it does not penetrate the shell membrane.
 
1 qt./$18.00

Thanks for the help. I did find quarts at Smith Poultry Supply. I will give the Tek-Trol a try. I bought a GQF cabinet  with electronic controls a couple of years back and have not come close to the getting the hatch percentage as I did with my styrofoam incubators. I hope this helps

Art, check the thermometer calibration of your cabinet model.   I posted this link for troubleshooting
