I actually find the ELOS quite easy. With regards to the second test, I don't even do it anymore (well maybe once in a blue moon), as I find that this number never changes. So I do the first test only subtracting what I know what the second test will give. Very simple.

To res my old thread. Turns out the test kit was quite old...and not like the new ones. OOOPPS my bad. So in the end, the results to his tests were;
Mg 850 ALK 6 Ca 500 so...needless to say we're dosing with Mg to get it back up. Bit of a compliance issue with my friend...but they're trying to remember to dose to get it up there...and he's changed salts which is a step in the right direction! OH, and I LOVE how easy the ELOS kit is! Just have to make sure to get the co-workers to read the directions properly sometimes...oh and me the first time!
