Hi,

Quick question, I want to measure the alkalinity level of my CaRx output and was wondering if I dilute the water sample in 5 ml of RODI water the Alkalinity reading can be assumed as linear? I.e. if the checker shows 12.6 dKH can I assume it is 25.2 dKH?

Thanks all! :)

Yes. As long as your dilution water has negligible alkalinity.
