My CH is pretty high according to Leslie's... 650 or so. My unsoftened tap water from the well CH is 275, softened is 241 (mebe need to add some salt to the softener?)

So I use the "economy" method of testing with a 10 ml sample.

I get NOTHING when I go the conventional route, so I use the "copper" approach:

10 drops (? whatever it is, instr. not in front of me) R0010

1 DROP R0012

3 drops R0011L

Then add R0012, counting the initial 1 drop prior to the R0011L. I used to get a good result with this approach. Now I get nothing. I also get nothing with the conventional approach (25 ml sample, etc.) , and the conventional approach assuming copper present, according to the instruction card that came with the kit.

Leslie's can't test for copper.

Suggestions for this test?

Suggestions as to test for copper or iron?
