Api Test Kit Question

[goldenboy]

hi ive just purchased an api test kit, im a bit confused , as it has 2 bottles to test ph.
bottle 1 ph test solution. = 7.6 ph
bottle 2 high range ph. = 8.0 ph

can i asume that i should be taking my readings from the high range as i live in a hard water area

Try both, if one is off the scale or doesnt match, base your readings from the closest on the other

thanks for the quick reply but they both seem to give good colour matches.

low range 7.6 high range 8.0

i Would say the 8 reading is correct then and especially if your in a hard water area.

yup, it reads 7.6 on the normal test because that's the highest the scale goes. whereas the high range starts from 7.6, my water is the same
