the color of the sample may develop only partially, or may rapidly fade. To resolve this,
neutralize the sample with diluted HCl or NaOH.
In case of water with hardness greater than 500 mg/L CaCO

, shake the sample for approximately
2 minutes after adding the powder reagent.
VALIDATION PROCEDURE

Warning:
Do not validate the instrument with any standard solutions other than the HANNA
CAL
CHECK
TM
Standards, otherwise erroneous results will be obtained.
