Calcium too high in rodi water ?

[levi farias]

I’m getting a high calcium reading on my Hanna checker for my bio cube constantly.

when I test my salt water after I mix it it test almost 542 ca
When I tested my rodi freshwater after I filtered it it tested 200ca

I don’t think that sounds right unless maybe my rodi water is too high in ca even after being run through the brs 7 stage filter?

I just changed all the filter floss and chemicals about 30 gallons ago so it shouldn’t be exhausted

I hate the Hanna Calcium checker. It is consistently inconsistent. I quit using it and went back to Nyos Calcium test kit.I pulled my hair out trying to get a consistent reading with the Hanna.
Redsea/Nyos would read 420 while the Hanna would read 500 to off scale. Never did I get Hanna to read what my titration kits do and do consistently.
I watched how to vidoes on the Hanna over and over thinking I was doing something wrong.
My Calc is at 420 according to NYOS. I could check using my hanna and I'll get in the 500s plus. I hate the Hanna checker

Your RODI should be 0 ppm cal. These are either test errors or a bad rodi unit. But your only bad parameter is calcium. That makes it test kits in my opinion.

The Hanna calcium checker cannot be used to test RODI water.

I'm also certain that the calcium level in RO/DI water that is 0-1 ppm TDS is not more than 1 ppm, and is not ever a cause of calcium problems.
