Nitrite Testing

nikkibabee · 12-16-2007, 03:49 PM

Is the nitrite test result the same 2 hours later as 5 min after testing? Just curious to know because I forgot to check the results and just got home. Are they still right?

Thanks!

Nikki,

No, they need to be read according to the directions - some say wait 3 minutes, some say read as is.

I believe there is a 3m wait on the Nitrite - double check instructions.
