Since I am an owner of a Hagen PO4 test kit, I did a test. I added several drops of fleet enema (Johnson & Johnson brand) to the water in the test tube but the kit shows that there is no PO4...

Now it is the problem of the test kit or the fleet enema?

Opps, I should have waited longer for the color to develop. Now the test kit shows there is approximately 0.5 - 1ppm of PO4 in the water. I did a rough calculation the number seems about right.

If you use the Hagan PO4 kit.

If No.3 Agent is not in a glass bottle it is absolutely useless, and read clear.

IT HAS TO BE GLASS !

If not e-mail hagan and they will post you a new one FOC. They did with me when i found this problem.

They can hide, but they cant escape

In the old forum there is a post that says the exactly same thing too.
