i just purchased the natureef calcium test kit. it doesnt give any information or chart on how many drops equal what level of calcium.
mine was 22 drops. but it doesnt tell you to know what that equals in calcium... like 440 or whatever.
does anyone know if there is a chart or something somwhere i can use to get the calcium equivalant.????

thanks in advance

okay after rereading the box again. it says that each drop is equal to 20 mg of calcium per liter of water. okay . so the problem is i dont have any idea how many liters of water is actaully in our tank ??
