Received my phosphate checker today from the States $63 inc carriage



Comes in a nice storage box





Contents
Tester, 2 Glass Cuvettes, Instructions, Laminated quick reference card and 6 reagents



Straightforward to use, switch on add 10ml of water to be tested to cuvette and place in checker then press button to zero



Checker then asks for sample with reagent added



Press button which starts a 3 min timer



After which it gives reading



Which in my case is 0.00, and even with the max tolerance would only give 0.04 so well happy with it.

Would be interesting to compare it side by side with the more expensive version

Does it use the same reagents as their original tester?

I dont think so as the sashets are marked HI 713 Checker, having said that if the original one uses 10ml samples I would have thought the reagent would be the same

I did order some extras though with the meter

[dave14]

Have just read the pdf of the original meter and it does use 10ml samples, so I have emailed Hanna uk to ask about the reagents

Thanks, have received reply from Hanna today who confirm that the reagents are the same, just that the checker ones are packed 25 per box as opposed to 100 for the bench tester

Just tested the fish system with a Salifert test kit and it comes up the same as the result you had today Dave,i will test the coral systems tomorrow with the d.d to see if they have the same readings m8.
