Strange pH test

[waterbear]

you got this one backwards
R-0004 is used in the Taylor K-1000 and Ben's kit (which included a rebranded K-1000) (smalll pH comparator cell)
R-0014 is used in the K-2000 series (K-2005, K-2006, etc.) (Large pH comparator cell and Acid/Base Demand tests)

Sounds like you used the wrong reagent for your comparator!

Egg on face....typed it wrong. it's the other way around! But I realized what KurtV had done....he had used the wrong reagent for the comparator.
