I am not asking for the dkH reading. I am asking that if you can mix the salt at 34 or 35 ppt and then take a dkH reading. For a moment just forget the AF instruction.

That is directly from Aquaforest in Poland Don. I told you via email that we are taking care of this issue. I forwarded all your information to them and to the customer support team. As I told you via email we are in the process of taking care of this situation. Please has some patience.
Its Aquaforest Poland. You have the batch number and they are suggesting that you visit the link they provided and put your batch number to check the ICP tested value of your batch of salt. They ICP test every batch of salt before sending them out.

I have never had any issues with my AF salt. I love IT. I recently switched to the probiotic salt

This issue was actually resolved. His tester was giving him false readings. This gentlemen came forward on Facebook and apologized to Aquaforest. He got a proper test kit and his dkh was 8.0 .
I saw that as well, in this day of the inflated ego, I must give this guy props. Not many are willing to accept that they are wrong, but to publicly apologize, that takes you know what, lol, and I respect the you know what out of him for doing so

I could understand his frustration, not knowing the problem often falls on false pretenses. It's so easy to blame a product when the solution is right in front of you. Logic is too easily forgotten when panic starts, I too have done this before and most of us have too but to apologize the mistake takes a lot of courage to face the music. Bravo all is good.

I totally agree! This Gentleman stepped up and publicly apologized. I give him all credit due. I wish more people were this honest and forthcoming.
Good that all is clear and that you found the reason of misreading. Aquaforest put lot of efforts to test all salts that are produced there. There is a special laboratory with professional tools (one of the most advance ICP and others ) and chemists that works there. There are 8 specialists (biologists and chemists) that works full time in Aquaforest laboratory to provide best quality possible of products that we can use in our tanks.
