old uncle...pot

[yellowtang]

Me bought Fauna Marin Kalium test ( measurement of pottasium )kit some months ago. Until now, have not used. Old uncle find instructions very confusing. Even the color of the syringes is different from the instruction manual. And the flexible silicon tube is sooo long.

The more i read , the higher my blood pressure goes...

Is there any kind soul here able to help me ?

maybe its my problem...as always the case.. thanks,

I think one of the syringe is green when it is indicated as blue in the instruction. The flexible tube is to extract distill water from the bottle, I believe the length doesn't really matters.

I have a question too. Must the kit be kept in the fridge as indicated in the instruction?

Heh...Heh

Don't need to bother about the silicone tubes. It's just to help you extract distilled water. You can do without the silicone tubes.

Basically you use the low glass tubes at first. Add 7ml distilled water to each. Then to one you add 1ml of the reference solution. To the other you add 1ml tank water. Then add 8 drops of reagent no.2 to both tubes. Shake both tubes and wait 3 mins.

Then from the low glass tube with reference solution, extract 3ml and place in one high glass tube. Put this on the orange circle on the paper template. Then from the other low glass tube (aquarium water), take 1ml at a time and slowly drop into the other high glass tube which is placed on the other orange circle. Compare and stop when both turbidity is about the same when viewed above.

Then take your reading according to the graph provided.

Thanks for your prompt help.

## The manual says "Pull on the silicon tube on the blue syringe and take exactly 7 ml distilled waer from one of the bottles. Keep the tube on the syringe, some air resting in the tube does not bother. Put the 7ml of water into one of the low glass tubes.

Question : Do I remove the silicon tubing when i put the water into the low glass tubes or should i also include the water in the glass tubing when i discharge the water into the low glass tube ? ( blood pressure building )

cheers

It is not compulsory to use the silicone tube if you don't find a need to use it. Less troublesome IMO.

If you do use it on the syringe, it is important to leave some air in the syringe as you draw 7ml of water. After drawing, invert the syringe and all the air in the syringe will go into the silicone tube as you expel it. Do not expel the liquid from the syringe. Once the air is out of the syringe, invert the syringe again and all the excess water will empty out from the silicon tube.

very very clear. If you have schedule to visit the wild west, sms me. Might be interested in what you have.

Have a Thai weekend.
