    anyone use this before? I got a good magnesium reading but the Total alkalinity and the Borate Alkalinity i dont know how yellow the sample is supposed to turn? Like is the test done when it turns to any color but blue or does it need to look like really yellow? Cus both the tests turned from blue to a clear, but not really yellow after just a couple drops???
    So confused????
    and i did my regular test with Carbonate Hardness test from API and got a reading of 5dkh 89.5ppm.
    What does meq/L translate to in ppm or dkh?
    Help?
