Hanna Insturments PO4 Checker

[Takara]

Got my hands on one of these today, it's a nice little unit.

I was told Calc and Alk were slated to be released next, the line will also include Nitrate and Mag. I wouldn't be surprised if Ammonia shows up soon too.

I can bring it to the cookout Sunday @ CRA if anyone wants to play with it.

Did you buy it online? I am thinking of buying one.

 

[Takara]

Well I was at Hanna's office talking to to Mr. Nardo about reef stuff and just chatting. He showed me the Chlorine one and actually ended up giving me this one. Your going to the cookout right Chris?

 

[Cjtabares]

Yeah I will be there

 

[Takara]

I'll bring it by, you can even borrow if it you want.

 

[Cjtabares]

Yeah that would be cool. Maybe I will bring a water sample and test it there, if that's cool with you. I have been real busy at work and I don't want to havethis and not be able to get it back to u for a few weeks.

Maybe I could put together a groupbuy for these. I was talking to hanna about doing one with their low rang phosphate meter and they were willing to. I could not find enough people maybe with these costing less there would be more intrest.

 

[Takara]

OK see you there!

 

[Technorch]

Have you tested it yet? I'd be very interested in buying one of these.

Sucks to not have a car and not be able to make it to the meeting now that it's close to us in RI

 

[Takara]

I have used it, it's very simple and straight forward. I like it a lot.

 

[s_kelley]

Awesome that he gave it to you! How much do they normally run and how accurate are they?

 

[Takara]

±0.04 ppm (mg/L) ±4% of reading @ 25°C

$49.50 and the unit includes 6 reagent packets
$8.99 for 25 packets

nice price, almost that much for test kits
