Watched a Tank Talk With Francois Neo last night discussing this and it looks pretty remarkable. And being able to store results in an app plus pricing vs similar checkers makes this seem like a win.

You can buy it in Europe already,Exaqua pro 6 is about $520, but you need packet of reagents for another $120 or so and license key for about the same, so together $700+, but this is with European VAT, so it could be bit less here. My wife is going to Poland in May and I am thinking about asking her to get it, however if it is not going to be established on US market, there will be problems getting reagents and support. Let’s s hope it will come here.

I got mine this week, it had a firmware issue I was able to resolve by installing new firmware. Haven't had a chance to try it. Hoping to tomorrow, really looking forward to not have to guess what color the regent is closest to!

Interested to hear how you like the Exaqua. The features far exceed what the Hanna offers, especially the Pro 6. Pricey, but flexible.

So far I'm liking it alot. I'm terrible at trying to guess colors. I purchased the 3 by itself and the reef test kit. It does take a while to do all the testing but I get a little better at starting 1 and doing another while I wait out the time.

Thanks for the update! Curious, how far out are the expiration dates on the reagents? I'm sure they will probably vary from reagent to reagent.

Yes you right Hanna did an update since Exaqua is going to push a little bit the market on the photometer.
The Exaqua is not just 9in 1 but 20 in 1 and if a new reagent is coming in the market, 5 mn later you can use your photometer with the update .
It's good to have 2 option now, Hanna and Exaqua

They are available in the USA since December 2022, you should find some reagent and device on few stores
