Tested this AM. Twice with each.
Salifert:
Both tests came out at 7.8dKH. This an interpolated value. My check solution tests at 8.4dKH, not 7.4 as it is supposed to. The aquarium water prior to interpolating came out at 8.8dKH.
Elos:
Both tests came out at 9.0dKH
pH at the time was 8.24 (Pinpoint).
Hmmmm, I don't know what to believe now. I like the Salifert reading better
.
One other thing to note about the Elos kit....some of their KH kits currently "out there" have an incorrect 5ml line on the vial. It is lower than it should be. So, when measuring the water amount measure to the syringe 5ml line, not the vial line. I have one of the screwed up vials.
Cheers,
