Diluting Red Sea alkalinity test kit

[Little Mo]

Is it possible to dilute the Red Sea alkalinity test kit? Like how you can do the salifert alk test kit. I'm trying to read the dkh coming out of my calcium reactor. It's way too high for my Hanna checker to read. I do have a red sea alkalinity test kit and wanted to know if I can dilute it down like the salifert kit can be diluted to get a more accurate reading.
Thank you in advance.

You will get a less accurate reading with any kit, Including Salifert, but yes you can dilute the sample.

Ok thank you.

Ok thank you.

Just today I measured the output of my kalk stirrer with my Hanna. I had to dilute by a factor of 10.

And @Randy Holmes-Farley, once again I referenced some of your prior work (namely the grandmother Kalk article). Thanks for all you do!

BTW, I got 120dKH with my hanna dilution, and Randy’s article suggested I would get around 114 if I remember correctly. That was close enough for me.

Sounds good!
