Re: [AGA Member] iron testers

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

I suppose I should add that the Hach test is very easy to
read even at levels less than 0.1 ppm. I uses a  45 degree
mirror and a color wheel so that you are viewing the length
the of the tube sample, which makes the faint reaction
colors easier to see. Of course, a level something below or
near 0.1 ppm is probably all that's needed.
