this is why I quit using it!!

Ca and alk reading have little consistency. measure your ca and alk after 1 hr of mixing then after say 6-7hrs then the next day for a final. you will get three totally different numbers. Even went to testing after 2 and three days of mixing but still could not get 2 numbers to match out of the same mixed batch of water!!
