So you are at 10 Dkh then basically. That's good.

No, I am at 5.  I used 5ml of water and 10 drops.  each drop is 0.5 so 10 x .5 = 5dkh  So I have to get that in the 7-8 range.

Oh ya didn't read close enough. Thought you were saying that the misprint meant that the .5 was actually 1.0 meaning 10 drops would be 10 Dkh. So still low then.

Congrats, things are looking great.  Got to love it when a plan comes together and everything starts working right :)

step 4 -

"Each drop of reagent corresponds to one degree of hardness.  The total number of the drops used equals the total hardness of the solution in *dKH for example 8 drops = 4 *dKH"

wait, what?  since when does 8 = 4?

LOL... these guys put the K in quality.

and for the record, it's not just these guys... 99% of the test-kits are like this...


So 10 drops = 10 *dKH? or 5*dKH?



This always ticked me off
