Hanna Phosphate Checker Vials
 
I broke one of the vials, so makes it harder to test because of the 3 min time limit. Does anyone know where I could get another one, without buying a whole test kit?

Another option I have is to buy the Calcium checker to get extra vials, but have heard they might not be accurate. Do they use the exact same vials?

Yes.

Thanks for the replies. ATM, am leaning towards getting the Hanna Ca Checker, if it has the same vials. I just hope it is accurate.

All Hanna vials are the same size.

the ca is very accurate-just make sure you really read the directions as it's different than the other checkers.

Why do you say the Ca checker from Hannah is very accurate? I can't get consistent results, despite following directions. I have been through the forums to pick up all the help and tips as well.

it's possible a slight difference in r/o water,volume of water,liquid regent,powdered regent,etc.sometimes the mls are hard to see on the syringe.i did a control test 3 times and got results within 5 on all my readings

Sweet! I did the same thing and got results from 360-420 with my first three tests (all done at the same time). That gives me hope :) I will run a few more tests and see if I can get things dialed in a bit more. That was exactly what I was hoping to hear!
