Here's an idea...we know that bucket of IO salt will have calcium around 380 ppm at 1.025, so mix up some saltwater for 24 hours and test that with both Hanna and Elos. Since there is a 200 ppm difference between the kits you will be able to tell which one is out to lunch.

Don't forget to roll that bucket of salt before using it too!!
That's a good idea... I'll do that when I get home.

Roll the bucket.... uh... yeah.... won't make that mistake again! Trust me on that one.
