Question for anyone on these units, or any hanna unit.

Are these still a pain in the butt, same as the normal test kits, but the only difference you don't need to count drops, it gives you the reading? If so, are they really worth it? Also then how much are the renewables that you will have to buy to keep using it?

Thanks for the info, I am really interested, just not sure about if they are worth it.

It takes about 1 minute to do a test, and costs about $1.00 a shot based on a refill pack of 25 being $25.00

So it is easier then, and cheaper? Then cool, I will look into this one, also would then love to see a Mg one, is there one coming?

others are cheaper, the calcium comes with a fluid and a sachet so more expensive. You mix a sachet with 1ml of fluid with the test sample.

Basic principle

add sample to vial
Insert into checker
turn on
press once
wait for message
add 1 sachet and 1ml of fluid to the test sample
re-insert vial to checker
press button
wait for reading
