Default Worthless test kits......

Jungle's Quick Dip sticks! Worthless... I called the water co. and spoke
to them about the high nitrates coming from my tap. Uh oh,... these
quick-dip sticks are very, very off.

My reading was 20ppm nitrates and his was .34ppm = what a difference!
My PH reading was 7.8 and his was 7.2.
My alkalinity was 300+ and his was 220mpl.

Just an example.... I may as well toss these $12 worthless sticks in the
trash can.

He suggested I use the other type of kit and not the Quick Dip type. In his
opinion they're the least accurate. I could have bought a nice goldfish for
that $12.
