5 in 1 test kit

Altantis · March 24, 2006

Anyone using this 'Professional Testing on a Beginner's Budget' test kit? :erm:

It indicated..testing on pH, Hardness, Alkalinity, Nitrite and Nitrate.

And....

The water parameters most often tested are: pH, Hardness, Alkalinity, Nitrite and Nitrate. Testing these once meant using five different test kits, but now the quick dip of an economical test strip monitors all 5 in a single swipe. Results appear in less than a minute so all you have to do is match the test strip to the color chart on the packaging to view results. While not as precise as a laboratory grade test kit, these will give you the results you need to determine if a problem exists and if actions should be taken to correct it.

The "lady-boss" at RB explained this product to me before... but they have yet to receive the shipment (that was 1 month ago). Sounds too good to be true actually... but again, this can be a technological breakthrough... do expect it to be quite costly (according to RB). For casual bi-weekly check is very good and convenient. But IMO still need proper kit to double check (at least twice a month). So you'll probably still need to buy the laboratory style kits... IMO.
