SRC Member surreal1228 Posted May 25, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted May 25, 2013 still cannot detect<br /><br /><br />Bro. Try to find out what s ur kh now.<br />If u use sailifert kh kit, u can use half reagent 1.then double ur reading. Or 1/4 of reagent 1 then 4x reading.<br /><br />So u will know how much u need to cut down. Quote :superman: :superman: :superman: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member surreal1228 Posted May 25, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted May 25, 2013 How many drops u did for reagents 1? ? sailfert test kit.<br />If 4 drops. Then u can try 2 drops or 1 drops.<br />Then times ur reading by 2 or 4.<br />If 1ml reagent noy enough. Then continue 2nd 1ml reageny 2.
