Alkalinity test

[saturn13]

Hanna test question:
When I conduct the test, after I add the reagent I normally get some floating debris in the vial? I'vd had this with other test kits as well, anyone have an idea of what or why? The sample was I'm taking is clear, so is it just a mixture of particles from sample and reagent that clump together?

Thanks,
Dan

Mine does that too not sure if it’s normal since I just got mine not long ago.

Make sure your syringe and syringe tip is cleaned after every use or residue from the reagent will dry up and become Crystal's in the syringe

Clean each and every time. Bought mine new but still same floating debris through the light.

That I'm doing for sure, my whole cleaning process is done right after testing and I only clean with rodi water. The particals are actually a little fuzzy looking, it's weird and why I assume it's a reaction to the test sample maybe particle in that contacting with the reagent.

I get floaties in some of the alkalinity reagents and sometimes not. I havent had it affect readings.
