Lamotte Test Kit?

[Guest brobak]

Does anyone have a lamotte pH or calcium hardness test kit? Im missing the instructions from this large set of tests that I inhereted (kit 3638-03). If you have the instructions, I'd appreciate it if you could post a synopsis that I could follow so I can make use of this kit. Thanks.

I have the Ca kit. Here is the short version:

 

1. Add 1 ml of tank water to enough RO/DI water make a total of 12.9 ml

2. swirl to mix

3. add 6 drops of the little bottle's liquid

4. swirl to mix

5. add one purple tablet

6. swirl to mix well until it is completely dissolved and it all looks very violet color

7. fill up the little syringe from the bigger bottle to the top mark.

8. start adding it slowly while swirling until you get a deep blue/purple color

9. look at the syringe and see what number the plunger is in. Every division is 4.

10. multiply the number by 5.16 and that is your Ca level. Example: plunger at the 84 mark (84x5.16=433)

 

Good luck,
