    Hanna phos checker

    I recently started using a green Hanna checker. Tonight I was surprised by the reading because it was higher than two days ago when I changed my GFO. It was .21 so I rechecked. The next reading was.10, so I rechecked again. I rechecked seven times and had readings from .21-.05 and everywhere between. The only one I got twice was .07 so my only best guess is that is my level. Has anyone had this happen? Any advice? New battery maybe???

    from what I have read they are incredibly inconsistent and one unit can be way off from another..Their larger unit is supposed to be a lot better.

    Yup, that means I wasted money on it. I'm not really happy to hear that. Thanks anyway

    Make sure you ate wiping all finger prints off the vial when calibrating and testing. It can make your readings change. Just as an FYI.
