I know there are a lot of doubters out there about the accuracy of the Trident when compared to Hanna or other home test kits, so I thought I would share my latest ICP results against what the Trident was reading at the same time I pulled the sample.


Trident:ATI ICPDelta
Alk8.768.71+0.05
Ca442449-7
Mg13461337+9

I'd say that's pretty accurate!

Now to go fix the issues that it did find... :-(
 
Yeah, i have the same experience as you. Its pretty accurate. I would add that i calibrate mine when changing all the reagent fluids or the Alk and Ca might float a little more.

Mine was calibrated a couple weeks before I pulled the sample.
