i just got my hanna checker for alk today. i want to test the alk of the calcium reator but the alk is to high to test. so it tells me to dilute the test but it dont tell you how to dilute it. is there anyone that can tell me how to dilute to.

Use RODI water. Cut it in half, and then multiply by two. If that isn't enough, go 9:1 and multiply by ten.

I'm really curious to know what numbers you are getting out of the reactor. I'm a long way off from
needing one, but it would be valuable information to know.
