Hi Trevor, Just wanted to let you know that we did not obtain results for the ammonium and the conductivity tests. The range of the test sample was above what could be read by the conductivity meter (the instrument displayed "OR" when immersed in sample). The ammonium sample became cloudy after the chemicals were added and left to react for 15 mins. We repeated this test, however the second sample also became cloudy after 15 mins. Thanks Vicky
