Same kit (Hagen) same time on both samples. Might give you 0.1 but l'm leaning 0.0.

Thanks for checking, Mark

Don't think I'm going to be using Hagen ammonia kits anytime soon, though.

Hey Beverly, first of all I had to wipe all of the dust off my Hagen test kit . Wow, it's been a while. Any whoo, here's the results.

Straight from the tap =

Somewhere between 0.6 and 1.2. Eeeeewwwww!

After the Ro/Di unit =

Somewhere between 0.0 and 0.1. Hard to tell thou, all the colours look damn near the same? No wonder I don't use Hagen test kits anymore.

Wheeeeeew, that was close. I almost thought I'd have to get up off my ammonia maker and change my cartridges.

P.s.
this little excersise took longer than 7 minutes.

Finally found the solution to our ammonia problem. Should be able to order it from J&L.....
