Hey there can I get some advice on a testing issue. I have the trident online for around 6 months now. My Alk is spot on between the trident Hanna and redsea tests. My calcium is the issue trident is showing 426 Hanna is showing 496 and redsea is showing 330 what do I believe? Thanks.

If I got those results, I'd probably test them again soonish and see what you get on try two.

In my experience, Trident's Calcium reading bounces around a lot, I pay more attention to the trend. I suppose I feel similarly about all of its' readings....but still very much love it despite that.

330 sounds erroneously low. Hanna is the one I'd put my money on without seeing a second set of results.

I did run calcium again redsea was the same 330 and 495 on Hanna. I feel tye trident swings some but I do trust it.

Redsea is probably wrong here, I'd go with somewhere between Hanna & Trident. Have you had a higher Trident result recently?

No nothing out of the ordinary it swings between 426 down to 398.
I'm also dosing daily through the trident so I doubt or I would hope the 330 redsea is incorrect. I just ordered a salifert test.
