			 Well what's the cost for each test with these style units? You need to buy a box of something...like reagents or something don't you? 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	Once you have the unit aren't these things a lot cheaper per test than say elos?  |

			 Good point - that would probably speak more than a 0.1 accuracy of a dKH reading.

			 Well what does it cost to use the phosphate checker? It's like $50 for the meter I think and then what do you need and how much is that one per test? I could look it up I guess but...

			 I have one of the Phosphate checkers and I love it! no more guessing at colours. After the initial cost it then costs $.44 per test.

			 Do they sell them at the lfs's in Vancouver or are they strictly web ordered?

			 I don't mean to be a bummer, but if you still need to buy the solutions, how much different is this from a test kit (like ELOS for $13). It takes me 30 seconds to do a ALK test with a kit, and is much cheaper. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			Also a reputable LFS told me these were junk. I don't want to say names, for the sake of getting anyone in trouble. Just my 2 cents. But I would love to have a high-end MG probe and Ca probe...Willing to spend the money on these probes. Again only if there are no solutions involved, just dip and read.
