Salifert KH/Alkalinity Test Ki by JOE
Experience Level: Expert
Posted on 11/5/2009 from JACKSONVILLE
Comments: The process of testing with this kit is more involved than other kits. However, this kit is much more accurate. Plus, it comes with a check solution, to ensure the kit is working properly.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Accurate Results-Messy to Use by JOEL
Experience Level: Expert
Posted on 10/22/2009 from CA UNITED STATES
Comments: Pros: This test kit appears to give very accurate readings, and unlike Salifert's MG test kit, this test kit comes with enough Reference Solution to perform 2 or 3 checks to see if the kit is producing accurate results. Cons:The problem is the KH - Ind Fluid bottle leaks. The bottle is a small plastic dropper bottle that dispenses a blue liquid. The dropper plastic dispensing tip leaks this blue liquid out of the bottle without squeezing it (when the cap is off). So, just uncapping the bottle and turning it upside down will cause some of the Indication Fluid to spill onto furniture, clothing, carpeting etcetera. This fluid stains badly and does not wash out. I notified Marine Depot of this problem, and they were kind enough to replace the kit, but the second kit has the same problem. There is no contact information for Salifert, so I could not alert them to the problem. Both KH-Ind bottles were from Batch # 0509-E. Marine Depot told me I'd have no further recourse and found my complaint to be hard to believe. I was surprised that MD would doubt me on these accounts, so I'll leave it up to you to decide and tell MD. Maybe if enough people notify them, Salifert will correct the dropper dispensing caps. My recommendation is to place a small piece of tissue paper under the KH-Ind bottle (in an area that you will be able to wipe the spilled soliton off of such as a counter top), then turn bottle upside down before uncapping it over the tissue paper. Let the first drop or two spill out onto the paper and then align the test cylinder under the dropper bottle giving it a very gentle squeeze to prevent ruining your test sample. The only other thing I didn't care for is the paper reference chart that comes with the kit. You may want to make a copy of it first, as if you spill Indication fluid on the reference chart, you can't wipe it off and it too will be ruined.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Easy to use and accurate by MARK
Experience Level: Intermediate
Posted on 9/16/2009 from SHELBY, NC UNITED STATES
Comments: Tested this kit against 2 other test kits and they all read the same, Most Alk test kits are pretty accurate but this kit will read read down to decimals, I guess thats how it would be said, so instead of alk being just read 9dkh or 10dkh it will read 9.0, 9.3, 9.9, 10.2. Also you can cut the sample in half so you can use less reactant and get more test's per kit.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Easy to use, but..... by GUY
Experience Level: Intermediate
Posted on 1/1/2009 from Sonoma County, CA
Comments: the kit is easy to use, however the KH indicating bottle could use a better dropper, it always lets one drop run down the side, which you need to wipe off before putting the cap on. This means you will never get the amount of tests the kit is rated for.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Bad Luck -- I got a bad batch by empireinc00
Experience Level: Expert
Posted on 1/18/2008 from APPLETON, WI
Comments: The test kit I got was supposed to expire in 2011 and my alkalinity always test at 8.6 dKH. Then all the sudden my montipora started bleaching and later I found out the hard way when I got other test kit to compare the reading. My alkalinity was actaully 6.5 dKH. I heard other people had the same problem too so it's not only me. I don't think I will buy it again just because I don't know if I will end up getting another bad one or not.
I would not recommend this product to my friends.

inacurate by BRIAN L
Experience Level: Intermediate
Posted on 9/6/2007 from NEW CITY, NY UNITED STATES
Comments: I am familiar with testing and doing lab work. According to this test my water is 12.0 . I did it 4 times with the same results I just did the test with another brand of test kit and the pH was 8.2 Perhaps I got a bad batch Saliferts web site dosn't have a contact area so I can't complain I just wont purchase their products again
I would not recommend this product to my friends.
