Hey all,

Quick question for you....

When you test your water...do you go with the number for the first drop that changes the color of the solution or the last? For example, when I test my alk, there is a drop that looks like the same color and a few drops after that number that keep it the same matching color...sometimes it makes a big difference in numbers. Which would you go with?

Thanks!
Nikki

You should read the measurement when it first changes color.
If it started as blue and you are going to pink/orange (not necessarily the kit you are looking at, I am using poetic license here..)..once it stops being blue..you're done.
If you look at it and say..well, that could still be blue..add another drop.
