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. -- Koi-Lo.... frugal ponding since 1995... Aquariums since 1952 My Pond & Aquarium Pages: http://tinyurl.com/9do58 ~~~ }((((o ~~~ }{{{{o ~~~ }(((((o
