    Evan,

    I loved the process of the colorq, but hated the results. Also, they never told me to let the samples sit with the reagents for 2 minutes. They never mentioned that. In fact, I sent them a water sample. They claim that my "high" CH is throwing off ALL the results. That is my experience. They were all way off, not just CYA and CH. Everything was wrong and by a lot. Maybe if I had tried to let the samples sit, it would have worked. Since I was never told this, I returned the kit for a refund.

    I really wanted the colorQ to work out. Maybe I will try it again when I eventually lower my CH.

    Here is the latest update. I sent the colorq back with a sample of water. I called them yesterday and they said that they tested the machine and some costants were not correct and they are shipping me a new one that has just been tested. Hope this works out. I like this machine!
