This is the kit I used although it says it is for soil, I only used water with the correct capsule............the other capsules may not be in the right place (I haven't used them) as I dropped the three others and they got tipsy topsy.


***notice how dark the green is in the vial

I forgot to answer your question............yes, I am trying to determine how bad our water is..............(in terms of alkalinity as the lady from CC suggests that it is)...........i do know this.................we can't have well water as it is so alkaline that it actually kills what ever we water in the garden...........so we have shut the wells down except to use for the deer and cattle.
