Steve the gizmo is a Hanna HI 93713 and it says it can read PO4 in water, wastewater and seawater in the 0.00 to 2.50 mg/L (ppm) range.

Oh so it is an electric one.. hmm do you know if it will read organic phosphate? the test kits we get will only read inorganic phosphate so if that one will read organic phosphate it might explain the higher reading.

Oh man Steve and I failed chemistry or darn close - plus it been a year or two. On reading the instruction it gives you two different calculations - one is for P205 and the other is for just P. Maybe you know what hat tests for. The other clue it provides is (PO3/4 In this formula the 3 is above the 4 with a - sign behind it)

Christy I ordered it out of the States from a guy on the zeovit site. Next time I come down (or swim down) to visit my family I will bring it with me and you can try it out!
