Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 3/16/2009 from WEST CHESTER, OH UNITED STATES

Comments: Best test kit i've ever used, compared to API and Salifert this is the best one, i've tryed both of those with inconsistant results and had a harder time trying to maintain the right level's of Ca in the water collum, Elo's Test kits are the best by far and i wouldn't use anything else Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Good kit, NOT ENOUGH REAGENT A by KIRK_M

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 1/17/2009 from METAIRIE, LA UNITED STATES

Comments: This kit seems to be quite good. Reagent D, included now, reduces the sensitivity level to 10 PPM, versus the old 25 PPM. MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT, however, is that there is NOT ENOUGH REAGENT A included. Each test requires 7 drops of it, out of a VERY SMALL BOTTLE. The other reagents are more than double the volume of this bottle. I have two tanks, and I test each weekly. This kit lasted only 2 months, as compared to Salifert (back when they used to be accurate), lasting almost 6 using it twice a week. So, I have a ton of the other reagents left, but, am out of the A reagent, rendering it useless. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Coming from API and never using Salifert, I really enjoy these kits. The written directions and the directions on the back of the card are different so make sure you know what number of drops equals what levels. I had to contact the company and ask via email. Other than that the kits are great and I will keep using them!!!!!!!! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Unsatisfactory

Very Poor Product by Brad

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 3/22/2008

Comments: This test, like the others made by Elos seem to give incorrect results, are over priced, more complicated to perform (versus API and Seachem) and the lids to the vials do not even fit properly so when they expect you to shake them for 5 full minutes, you end up with about half the water left in the vial then you started with. I am very disappointed with the Elos testing product line. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Great kit. by TODD

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 2/11/2008 from FRANKLIN, TN UNITED STATES

Comments: Much easier to use than a kit requiring a syringe to drop the reagent. It was missing the test tube cap but Jesse from Elos has promised to send me a new one. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Elos Calcium kit by Billybeau1

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 1/30/2008 from DYER, IN UNITED STATES

Comments: Reasonably accurate and easy to use. Good color end point. Measures in 25 ppm increments but can be changed to 12.5 by doubling the test sample. This will use more reagent. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Safety and Sensitivity by rroselavy

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 1/18/2008 from Los Angeles

Comments: The kit is very easy to use - almost identical to, yet slightly easier than Salifert. Elos goes out of their way to select the safest (affordable) reagents, and insures the consistency (via NIST) and longevity of their reagents through proper storage (until it leaves the reseller). 1 drop of reagent "C" = 25ppm Ca. It couldn't get easier than that. The only criticism is that the sensitivity (25ppm) is rather crude. There is a Reagent "D" (not included) for more precise testing, but it is not widely available. Too bad there is not a more precise dropper that could reduce the sensitivity to 10ppm. 25ppm is probably fine for general use. Perhaps this will happen in the future, as Elos seems to be very responsive to customer feedback. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
