    Just note, it's +/- .04ppm so if you measure .05 that could be .01 or .09 so it's not extremely accurate, that range could mean your levels are good, or they could be bad. I think it's probably good enough for my uses though, basically if it registers anything you probably should be concerned and starting to look at ways to eliminate it.
    At least IMO anyway.

    The expensive ones like mine have the same tolerance. They have to list some sort of tolerance to cover their butts. Since it's a wide tolerance they probably have to replace less units

    Ya, but the resolution is only .04. We should be below .02, so if it reads anything, that is double what I should have. Seems great to measure gross PO4, but not too good for usable levels to us.

    yea this was featured on the front page not too long ago for a few days. I was pretty interested since I'll be going for a ULNS here shortly. I placed an order with tb a week ago with a 100 pack of the test reagent it uses. Got a confirmation but no shipping info yet. Definitely looking forward to tryin this bad boy out!
