Elos Test Kits

Does it read in meq/l or dkh, when you say whole numbers only do you mean 7 or 8 dkh, nothing in between.

it tests in whole numbers only but compared to Salifert kits it is bang on the
money.

Yup, You may think that is bad but the test is brilliant.

4ml of tank water then drip and count. Water turns blue and when it turns yellow lets say at 7 drops that is your dKH. It is easy to tell if it's between 7 and 8 because the 7th drop turns the blue water kind of yellow then the 8th drop goes bright yellow

What we notice with this test kit line,it is a lot more consistent retest results on the same sample ,than other brands .
We tested the same water for Ca with elos Test & also Salifert ,Elos was the same reading 3 times in a row which was very impressive ,with salifert +/- 20 ppm variance which is still great compare to other known test kits in the hobby .
Yes Jason you can get elos products from Hidden Reff , J&L is also going to carry the Elos products soon .
In Alberta Golds is the place

Weird, I asked Jesse if there were any substitute vials and he said it wasn't provisioned.

Anyway, I'll call you later today Jason.

Hello,
I can tell you they have been more reliable, consistant, accurate and easy to use than salifert for me, hands down...atleast calcium, Mg, Po4 and KH are.

Precision really has no bearing at all, when one can do multiple tests with 3 boxes of the same kit and get precise but inconsistant readings.
