The water was a milky colour beneath a layer of floating brown algae. The sample water was not filtered because the turbidity was below 40NTU. The ammonia test gave an 'over range' result (>4mg/l) on the Smart2 but on 5x dilution gave 0.24mg/l, i.e. a result of 1.20 mg/l. It is probably not reliable and similarly the phosphate result is probably not reliable either because of the colour of the water. Julia researching into Ecowise conducting nutrient tests
