HANNA HR vs LR

[austin_socal]

Hi everyone,
I was looking into Hanna Nitrate test kits and saw that there are High Rate and Low Rate kits you can buy. What is the difference?

The HR nitrate test is the one you want.

The HR nitrate test is the one you want.

Ok, thank you. Any reason why?

The LR is a pain to use and is not as helpful imo. The high range kit is very straightforward and covers a far wider range of nitrate.

I assume I would want the one on the left here?

You want the ultra low range phosphate. The Nitrate is the HR nitrate.

Which one do you think would be the best?

The ULR phosphate if you are wanting the phosphate test.

The ULR phosphate if you are wanting the phosphate test.

Yeah, I am looking for the phos test. Thank you!

You originally asked about Nitrate -- I like the Nitrate HR.
Your picture showed Phosphorus and Phosphate -- for that I like Phosphate ULR.

These are the ones most of us have

Nitrate High Range
Phosphate Ultra Low Range

I’ve had good success with both

Ok, thank you. Any reason why?

there really isn’t a purpose to the low range, basically nobody is concerned with ranges under 10pm unless it’s zero …
besides, running the LR Nitrate test requires a pHD and masochist personality (it’s pretty bad)

Cool, thank you!

I bought the Nitrate HR test new at my LFS. I found a Phosphorus ULR kit on market place with a new box of refills for $25. With that kit I have to use the chart to convert it to phosphate, but for the savings, I’ll do it! I color printed and laminated the conversion chart.

Awesome, thank you. I’ll check out marketplace

As all are saying, nitrate hr and phosphATE ulr. I first purchased the nitrate lr and it is a total pain. Very accurate but not what we need.

Awesome, thank you. I’ll check out marketplace

Definitely hit up Marketplace. I got all of mine there. Even ones I will rarely use, but the $$$ was too good to pass up.

My wife has banned me from Marketplace due to my inability to say no to a good deal. Even if I don’t need it. LOL

Example: I have an Apex on my QT. Why? Cuz it was a great $ on Marketplace. LOL
