We already have the alkalinity reagents on order (sometime next week).

We definitely need to bet the micro fiber cloth for the next order.

My understanding is the Cleaning Solution H17061L we currently sell is a multi purpose cleaner for all applications, including the Cuvette.

We currently sell a TDS meter from TMC

As a suggestion on the hanna tester like the Alkalinity test kit I purchased. I would put at least one of the microfiber cloths in the kit and note; Includes one microfiber cloth and increase the price to cover the one micro fiber cloth as a curtsy because I assumed that the kit would be complete with at least one of them. The instructions says that the test will be off if there is a fingerprint of lint on the curvet. On one of my test there was a piece of lint that I saw after I did the test so I redid the test making sure there was nothing on the curvet by holding it up to the light, by doing this I can make sure the curvet is Crystal clear and that test showed 8ppm less then the test before. When I get the micro cloths from you I planed on making a video on how to use the Hanna test kits for you.

I have been looking at the Hanna ORP meter. It says that it is water proof and will float. Have you ran any test on it to see if you can float it to get readings?
I have to hold my ORP meter in my tank for some time to get a reading. I have a glass that I put tank water in to get a reading but the reading is always different from the tank.

I also would note that I used the Hanna Electrode cleaning solution to clean my EcoSence ORP meter and it did a really good job cleaning the electrode.

These are new Hanna ORP testers to me (the ones I used in the past are different), but maybe we can test this aspect out.

Currently we are using the EcoSence ORP meters here

We could test. I made a little something for when I was testing.

I was just thinking about how easy it would be to just put the ORP meter in the water and let it float until it stabilized. You can't do that with the EcoSence ORP meter.

Looks like the meter floats on it's back. Seems to still take a reading.

Could also figure out some way to clip it on the rim?

Hey Devon... Do you have a ORP meter personally? I am looking at buying the Hanna ORP Meter and would be will to give you my EcoSence Meter if you need one.

Very nice of you. We have one at the shop I play with if and when I need it. It's not a traditional reading I take... only for data gathering on experiences. We're going to be doing a how UVC effects plant growth so, where I'll use the meter. Thanks for thinking of me.
