The new hr nitrate hanna checker is great, 1 reagent, 7 minutes. The old lr was no fun, happy to chuck it.Up until 4 weeks ago, I've been mildly managing my nitrates for years using this color chart that we're all familiar with
What an amateur subjective test relying on keen eyes to differentiate colors
I've been doing myself a major disservice relying on my eyes to play "the matchy match game" with colors. What a joke.
For the last year I thought I was hovering around 10-20ppm...cool I mostly have zias/palys
Didn't know I was actually DOUBLE that at around 40 to high 50s after purchasing a Hanna nitrate checker. Seriously??
I was unknowingly slowly poisoning my zoas/palys with as much as high 50s ppm of no3. Pure Ignorance bc of subjective tests.
Hope when I go in for cancer screenings the Lab Tech is NOT trying to differentiate between 5 color patterns
I'm not here to sell Hanna Checkers but man'o'man ISN'T KNOWING YOUR TRUE NO3 LEVELS A MAJOR COMPONENT TO SUCCESS?!?
I can't believe all the color chart test kits are structured in a way where it's oretty much up for subjective interruption of individual users. What a joke...
I'm now a huge Hanna nitrate checker believer. Believing their colorimeter can be accurate within 2% of my true no3 levels
Your thoughts?
