great test kit by PETER BADE

Comments: I have used several test kits from API,Salifert to LaMotte and the Elos is IMO on par with the Lamotte. The only issue I have is that the color change from cyan to yellow is too subtle. I would have given it 5 stars if not for this. The test kits are dated which is a good thing. My last kit was API and was inaccurate and had no exp.date on it. You can also use 1/2 the measurements for testing and extend the life of the kit with the same accuracy. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Disappointed by JOHN SPENCER

Comments: This kit is probably accurate but trying to decipher a color change from cyan to yellow when the colors are so week is a pain. I think I will be sticking with Salifert, just as accurate and no guessing on weak color changes. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I had been using Salifert test kits. I purchased ELOS CA, KH and MG kits because I heard the colors were easy to see. After using the kits, I find that ELOS are much easier to tell the change points. Results of CA and MG are very close to the Salifert tests. KH is way off from Salifert, so I am going to try a third kit to try to figure out which one is inaccurate. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great kit! by RYAN HELMUTH

Comments: Great test kit. Never can go wrong with elos!!! With the way the instructions read, you get a alk value in whole numbers. If you want more accuracy, all you have to do is double the amount of water, and then each drop is worth half as much! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Excellent KH test kit by BRUCE

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 2/21/2008 from LITTLETON, CO UNITED STATES

Comments: This is the best KH test kit I've used. It's inexpensive, easy to use, easy to read and accurate. For most tests, the full 1 degree result is OK and can easily be converted to 1/2 degree. I now use one test for both my tank and my calcium reactor. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Not what I thought. by CHAD PETERS

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 2/12/2008 from FL UNITED STATES

Comments: This is a O.K. kit been using sailifert kits for years figured I'd give it a shot. Not what I was expecting. I thought it would be more accurate and read in smaller scales. It in my opinion just gives whole numbers 9-10-11 not very specific don't know if I'm boarder line 9 when it says nine or closre to 10 would like more specific accuracy. Test vile dosn't match up with the glass vial you draw water with. 5ml on the glass vial is under the mark of the water line you draw with the measuring device. Very confusing for a kit that is suposed to be high end. Moer like the Hagen kits and the API kits. I'll just use this kit as a reference along with my others good back up kit not the only kit you'll ever need.Just O.K. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Reasonably accurate and easy to use. Good color end point. 1 drop equals 1 dkh. Can be changed to .5 dkh by doubling the water sample but this requires more reagent. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
