Trouble distinguishing higher levels

The chelated iron test works well in the lower range, but sometimes I get a color that is 0.25 inch *tint* if you move the tube half an inch from stick to a white background, but the intensity is too bright for the "credulous" 0.25 that I see often.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Negative impression

Buy ONLY for non-chelated iron!

Almost all iron test kits on the market are currently rated 4 stars or lower for various reasons.

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

You must be realistic in your expectations and understand that these colorimetric tests that you read by eye will not give you much accuracy. You can actually read down to about 0.25ppm with this test and possibly see if the reading falls somewhere in between. In my opinion, that's quite enough for this purpose. It…
