So I recently picked up the magnesium, alkalinity and calcium kit for $43 from my lfs and am not too happy so far.
Things I'm irritated with:
1- magnesium test reads 160ppm higher than my Salifert kit.
2- trying to fit everything in the plastic case is a pain!
3- syringes all say "single use only" ???
4- if you do get everything to fit in the case, gravity is the only thing that holds the top on.
5- syringes and tests aren't all color coded so it's easy to mix them up. Then you have to deal with cross contamination.
6- actual end color on the alkalinity test is nowhere near the end color shown on the card.
Rant now complete.
If anyone can shed some light on any of these or tell what I'm doing wrong please let me know!
