hanna phosphate checker

[tgriffin]

Does anyone here use one of these? If so, how do you like it and how accurate do you think it is? I'm thinking about trying one.

I have had pretty good luck with mine...

I have used the phosphate and AK checkers for about a year now and find them to be within 0.03 ppm accurate on the phosphate. I use the red sea pro low range Nitrate test and like that for testing Nitrates below 4ppm.
The only Hanna checker I have heard that is not very reliable is the calcium checker, so I use Seachem for that.

I like mine as it appears to be on. When I started carbon dosing the Phos came down. I backed off it came back up. All verified by the Hanna checker.

great..... thanks! I'm color blind and a digital read out would be awesome

Are you asking about the pocket one or the bench top?

I have been pretty happy with mine. I thought it wasn't working because it always reads 0 but now I am starting to measure some phosphates.

Pocket.... I could always just buy reagent packs and use yours

I'm not saying it's not reading correctly but to have zero PO4 is not common or very likely.

I have a benchtop I'll sell for $40 OBO if interested. You'll need new regents as mine are expired.
