new salifert kh/alk? how do you use it?

[Hendersonracing]

Ive been using salifert alk for over a year now its different? there is a red solution that smells like alcohol? and no green to drip before mixing????

any tips?

[crvz]

Read the instructions?

Did it not come with an explanation? I can't imagine it's too difficult, but I've not yet picked one up.

I did....all you do is drip the 1.0mm syringe? I guess the new kit skips a step!
Thanks

Hmm, I'm going to have to look into it! My alk kit is about empty.

whats interesting is I gotta wonder if chanign it up was an attempt to get back any of the many customers that stopped buying thier alk kits, as well as others out of the principle of how they handled the bad batches of alk kits they spit out a year ago.......

I actually was one of those who said I would never purchase another salifert kit....not because they goofed up, but how they handled it.

I dont test all that often, but my laziness just might overcome my principle and I might buy one of these kits to check them out

Have you tested it against the old kit ??

[Hendersonracing]

yes they are dead on...pretty cool...the colors are just lighter!!!

[marineduud]

Thats cool I'm about out of mine and thats the kit I use the most so thats good to know after all the issues with the bad batch.
