Hanna Checker Phosphate!

[cabrego]

Hi all,

 

Today I received my Hanna Phosphate Colorimeter test kit from MarineDepot.com. The kit was 39.99, it came with 5 or 6 reagents, and was shipped promptly. I also ordered an additional 25 reagents for 8.99.

 

I also ordered a 1ppm phosphate standard from Hach.com, they shipped fedex very quickly too. Kudos to the vendors for quick shipping!

 

 

Overall I felt that the meter was relatively easy to use. I think reading up on the meter ahead of time and learning a few tricks to help run my test efficiently helped some.

 

All water volume measurements were made with a 5 ml syringe. I found it a little difficult to ensure that the syringe was free from all air bubbles but overall I felt my measurements were accurate enough for this test to be meaningful. Getting the reagent in the vial is a little tricky and is probably the most cumbersome part of each test. I also did not realize that the test actually takes 3 minutes to conduct. The meter begins a 3 min countdown during its interpretation of the color of the liquid in the vial.

 

I will cut to the chase and give you the results from the 3 tests I ran today:

Test 1: 10 ml of Tank water read 0 ppm.

Test 2: 10 ml of Hach 1 ppm standard read .99 ppm.

Test 3: 5 ml of Hach 1 ppm + 5 ml of RODI read .50 ppm.

 

 

A big kudos to Hanna, it looks like this meter is doing it's job pretty well as far as I can tell!

:clap:

Very nice results! Thanks for the verification effort.

Thanks for sharing, those are very reassuring result.

No Problem, let me know if you want to test your meter, I have plenty of 1 ppm standard...
