Hi Folks,
I was going to take some of my water to the LFS for testing (assuming they test) since my dipsticks only go down to 20ppm (nitrate) and 0.5ppm (nitrite) and my API Master Kit is en route. I wanted to know what types of containers you guys use to transport your water to ensure that the container does not adversely affect the chemistry of the water before it gets tested. I was going to use a regular Ziploc container (polypropylene) but then I was considering some others made of polyethylene. Or does this not matter at all for the parameters that we need to test for?
Thanks!
Greg
