So abrasive? Because I told you that it’s not edited? Lol OK.
Please do. Also, please learn how to use the quote feature.
Please learn how to take a hint (actually, not hints, but outright requests from the BOD)...

Oh yes ma’am.

It’s all good. Continue with the testing of what we already know. Even Randy will tell you the same.

DUDE! You should REALLY consider easing up off the gas a little bit. You think the ATI ICP testing is far better than all other tests. We get it. We know!! That wasn't the point of Cody's experiment. If someone wants to compare 2 test kits that have already been compared a 1000 other times and share that data with the club, then they should be allowed to do so. I never want to take anyone's voice away but you gotta know that you're beating a dead horse at this point. And you've hijacked his thread (several times) to do it. So the ATI test is the best kit available. Point noted.

DUDE! for sure.


Why not link both ICP analysis here so all members can view them.? That should have been the first thing done.

I'm not sure I'm following what you're meaning by this question. Do you mean provide a link to his specific test results that he had done? If so, I think you would need his account information for both companies to do that. Also, he provided all of the data in a spreadsheet. So I'm really not trying to be difficult but I'm just not understanding what you mean exactly by "linking both ICP Analysis". Please clarify what you think should have been done.

Yes, link the analysis. He can share them.

@gregg, it might help future readers of this thread to know that you deleted a bunch of comments (but our responses to the comments are still there), Lol!

*And thanks, btw
This is not a true statement, I made NO edits, deleted or moved any posts from this thread. If you noticed something missing or edited in this thread it would have been done by the author of that post.

No thats not what I said. Just to be clear... Not myself or anyone on the Board has edited or removed posts from this thread. When a director moderates a thread they will announce that they did so. If a post in this thread is missing or edited, it would have been done by the person that made the post themself.

example... So if "Bob's" post is missing or edited, it's because Bob did it himself.

Well, for the sake of being more thorough, I personally paid to have five tests each from ICP Analysis, Triton, and ATI sent off from the same sample from the same time. In the same fashion as before, I formed averages to find trends. I stand corrected. The ATI was by far the more superior test kit. Check the attached spreadsheet to see the results.

HaHa…you were right. Looking at that data above, ICP Analysis was a far better analysis significantly more accurate than the others. In almost all categories it was within .0001 ug/l when the others were off by 500 mg/l.

I apologize! I had no idea they were this accurate. :yo: Hats off to Cody for conducting this experiment and sharing this pertinent data. Case it closed.:faint:
