Ready to throw this thing out the window.
Got it over a year ago tested my water a few times at that point and it read 0.00 every time.
I was skeptical as to the accuracy of the results.
Pulled it out again this morning and did another test and the same thing 0.00.
I am now out of reagent and don't want to waste money buying more if the damn thing doesn't work.
I can't believe my tank has phosphate levels that low, I haven't been doing much to control it
I know there was a recall on the reagent a while back but mine was not part of that lot number, and the expiry on them wasn't until January 2018.
I found myself wasting reagent often and having to start all over because it's such a pita to get all of the the reagent into the vile. (It's all but impossible going straight from the package into the vile, and only slightly easier using a folded piece of wax paper or a funnel.)
As funny as it sounds all I want is to see an actual number pop up other than 0.00, that way I'll know it's working at least.
Can I doctor the sample with soap or something to boost the levels and verify the damn thing's working?
