It is not necessary to run a reference test to use this kit. The only time you might choose to run a reference test is if you have cause to believe the test is giving incorrect results. If you run a test using the reference sample and obtain the correct result (based on the known reference value provided) then you know the test is giving correct results. Use the pH Reference to check the pH test (pH reference = 8.3). Reference sample is a Tris buffer designed for use with this kit and may read incorrectly with a pH meter or damage some pH electrodes. It is subject to change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the air. Keep tightly closed. Use the Alkalinity Reference to check the alkalinity test (alkalinity reference = 4.0 meq\/L). It too is subject to change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the air. Keep tightly closed.

It is suitable for marine or brackish water only. Marine pH should be 8.2—8.4. Tanks dosed with limewater may go as high as 8.6. Natural sea water has a total alkalinity of 2—3 meq\/L, but aquarium water should have a total alkalinity of 4—6 meq\/L. This kit measures total alkalinity. Total alkalinity is a measure of the carbonate (CO32—), bicarbonate (HCO3—), borate (B(OH)4 —) and hydroxide (OH—) content of the water, expressed as the acid neutralizing capacity of the water in meq\/L (milliequivalents\/Liter). The expression of alkalinity as meq\/L is chemically sound and the most useful and intelligent way to express this property of the water to resist change in pH. The use of other expressions, such as KH, dH, mg CaCO3\/L, grain CaCO3\/gal, etc., is confusing and offers no advantage over the chemically accepted standard expression of meq\/L. The use of expressions other than meq\/L should be discouraged. For reference purpose only, 1 meq\/L corresponds to 2.8 °KH.\u003c\/inline\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWARNINGS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAquarium use only!
