    I have never used the alk tester but I do have the cal tester and love it. I'd like to pic up the alk and nitrate testers just haven't got around to it yet.

    I really like the alk tester. Seems to work well and is easy to use.

    Same, I really like mine. I do not, however like my Hanna CA tester. It's a pita.

    The phosphate and alk ones have been great IMO though.

    Sold my Ca checker and went back to Salifert. Thing was too touchy or my eyes are too bad.
    Never have issues with my alk checker though and can't wait for the po4 checker to come in today.

    FWIW Hanna has a recall on a certain alk checker lot #. I didn't have that lot but some in my club did. Hanna is sending new refills FOC.
