Do you use this test for PO4 ?

[ALENQUER A.]

hello guys,

I want to buy a hanna phosphate checker, do you use exactly this model? http://www.ebay.com/itm/COMBO-HANNA-HI-713-CHECKER-HC-PHOSPHATE-PHOTOMETER-HI-713-25-FOR-25-TESTS-/310373243110?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4843afd8e6

or exist another model with lower measuring range?



what about this for test alkalinity? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hanna-HI-755-Checker-HC-Alkalinity-Photometer-HI755-/370487949882?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5642cd7a3a

I believe that is the phosphate checker other people have. You'll want to get extra reagent packs, because 25 will not last long at all.

Yes I use both of those. Both are great.

Some say the Hanna P checker can give you vastly different results in back-to-back tests. I have not experienced this myself.

There is a Phosphorus checker that measures in parts per billion and then you convert over to phosphate using a multiplication factor (as there is a fractional relationship between phosphate and phosphorus) that test is supposedly more accurate or something. But the grand daddy is the Milwaukee kit.

Good stuff! how accurate they are ?

Hi floyd, Is this the phosphorus checker you mentioned? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hanna-HI-736-HC-Checker-Phosphorus-Photometer-HI736-/390195541933?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5ad97777ad

I use that tester, and like it.
Results vary a bit, but not badly. No surprise, reading such a low value.
Note that for the normal phosphate PO4 values, you need to take the phosphorous pbb, and multiply by 0.003
