Low sodium

rarelyseriousb · Mar 28, 2021

I had a ICP test performed. Everything was within range except sodium. I testest my salinity and it was 35 ppt the day of the test, with the Milwaukee refractometer.
I have a few questions
1. Should I be worried about it?
2. Should I try to adjust it
3. How should I adjusted it?
4. What did I do wrong?

I wouldnt worry, my salinity always came back from icp low too.
My miluakee reads spot on with my tropic marin hydrometer.
As long as its calibrated.

Either the ICP of the sodium or off, or the Milwaukee is off. I do not know which.

Have you ever tested a 35 ppt standard in the Milwaukee?

Yes. The Milwaukee is reading correctly. Just checked it again.
