ibought one last week and it,s working fine. have like most people loads of test kits and they all read different. the pinpoint calcium monitor reads almost the same as one of the kits but from now on am going to trust the meter as it is accurate to +- .02 ppm. has to be calibrated evey month but you can re-use the fluid and providing you do not contaminate it will last for ages. as for the salinity monitor it works best if you place the water to be tested in a cup or bowl then test it. they are not ment to be used in the tank as constant reader as far as i could read in the insrutions or on the webb. :cheers: lenny

Interesting point of the salinity probe. Mine arrived today along with my R/O unit and I haven't had time to open either.

i had planned on keeping the PH and Salinity ones running 24/7 but will now have to read the instructions tomorrow.
