I’ve got the same unit as you Joe, Hanna stuff is usually good value for money.I couldn’t say as I’ve never used it. But I’ve been using a Hanna handheld pH/ EC/TDS meter at work for nearly a decade and it’s still doing the job, despite being dropped in ditches and bogs, and trodden on several times.
The benefit of a handheld tester, as I see it, is it’s quick and easy, and therefore more people there might be encouraged to take samples?
I'd be up for that. A great idea.It wouldn’t be that much of a task to organise a citizen science program with BFW.
If we could pick a standardised Phosphate test kit that’s readily available, reasonably accurate and affordable then all we’d need after that is members to take a test on the bank and report them in a thread. Then collate that data.
Would there be much support/interest?
