SeachemMultiTest Phosphate Test Kit

This test kit has many feature I liked. Less water needed for testing. A plate that holds 6 water samples to test multiple tanks. Less drops, easier clean up but unfortunately my test was not giving me accurate readings. All 3 tanks and my tap water were reading 2.0. I grew suspicious and used the reference sample provided with test. The directions stated it was supposed to read 1.0 but again my test gave 2.0. Item is nonreturnable but customer service did work with me to resolve the issue.

Used API test kit befor and thought my tap water is full of phosphate. But after purchasing an osmosis system did not find any difference in test results. Used this test to verify phosphate level. It was easy and fast a d reliable. Because of wrong test used befor I purchased unnneccesary osmosis system. 5 stars for this product! If I had it earlier...

My application is for freshwater. It stated that it was for freshwater and marine use. The kit is well put together except, once I received the kit, it stated that the readings for freshwater may not be accurate due to the level of phosphates present. But if it is used for freshwater, the sample will need to be diluted. It did not have instructions on how much to dilute the sample by. IMO I think that is a detail that could have been included in order to be successful. I will try another brand.

this is a very quick, easy, and inexpensive kit for detecting low levels of phosphate in fresh and salt water. you add a tiny amount of sample water to the well using the included pipette, a drop of solution A, 2 drops of solution B, mix with the included stirrer for a second or two, and then match to the color card - done. the color gradient is roughly logarithmic, so while it can be hard to find the exact color match at times, you can pretty easily tell what range it falls in - the lower the range the more precise you can be.

It is very hard to tell the difference between result colors. The first one I had received was inaccurate. I contacted seachem, and they sent me out new reagents, and control solution. The second, the control solution matched the desired result, but it is still very hard to read the lower range results. It does work, but there are better test kits on the market

Having a slight hair algae problem in my freshwater aquarium. I bought this along with Seachem PhosGuard to monitor and lower the phosphates and get my tank back to the un-algae-fied version that it once was not long ago, lol. The instructions are very easy to follow and quick! Full 5 stars from me! :)

No bad for the price, can be used for emergency

I had high phosphates in my tank and needed a way to monitor them. High phosphates causes an algae problem that makes your tank dingy and ugly. I was bleaching something almost every week. With lower phosphates, my tank stays cleaner and prettier longer. I have tested my water with this kit and verified the results against the pet store pros and always have the same results. Now I can do it at home. Enough product to get many tests and will last a long time.
