New Hanna Checker - Alk read in dKH

[ghbrewer]

Hanna just released a new Alk checker that gives readings in dKH. Not a huge deal, but handy.

I saw that and noiced they now use a powder reagent.

Nah, think they are still using the liquid reagent. The picture is misleading b/c they are showing a pH checker I think. They did just send out a recall on some batches of reagent, still waiting for mine to come in.

Your right the picture is definitely misleading. Looks like they use the same reagents. I received my replacements a few days ago they shipped the replacements within a few days.

I've been loving my old-and-busted Alkalinity (from December 2015) checker that reads in ppm. Even with the recent reagent snafu - it still was enough to give me a decent idea of how quickly the carbonate level depletes in my tank. Once dialed back in and I get the swings stabilized, it's Hammer time! (forgive the horrible joke)

Makes me wonder though... why couldn't they have built the unit with a selectable display? Once the reading's done, it's just a conversion (maybe cycles through meg/L/dHK/ppm after the C2 read)

I JUST got around to checking my own existing reagent and requesting replacement... hopefully it's not too backordered at this point.

I love mine as well! They might be after the nine replacement bottles they shipped me.

Soooo we don't have to take the number and multiply by .056 anymore?


So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Who is going to get one.

Just got a 3 pack of hanna checkers for xmas, would like to see a reading in dkh but i input the results in apex fusion and it converts it for me,
