Check Solutions

ingtar_shinowa · 08/17/2012, 12:02 PM

I am looking to find out where I can locate Alkalinity and Calcium check solutions to verify my testing kits. I recently ran into an issue with an old sailfert kit and a red sea foundation kit.
Turns out the sailfert kit was bad, but I only was able to discern that after having used the included 7.2 check fluids. I want to find more, so that I can keep my kits verified. Thank you.

We found some in this thread but they weren't cheap. The Hach stuff wasn't as expensive but you might have to do some dilutions to get a strength you can test against. I can help you do that once you get them. Just post it up in the Chem forum if you need help.
