This crazy been waiting weeks for reagent to come back in stock and had to run the shutdown program on it because it's been out so long. I do like the unit and it works for me except when I got bad reagents once.

mine has not done a test in three weeks due to lack of reagents. Do I need to shut it down? I did not even think about that.

Try it, I'd be curious how the software handles it. I'd imagine when it doesn't experience the color chenge it expects, it would throw out an error. But that's just a guess.

Mine has always given me very close Nitrate values. the PO4 is only accurate the day I calibrate it and it doesnt vary much from that result even if it moves by 0.10 up... I still have to manually test phosphates so It feels very expensive to just test 1 thing...
