I’m really trying to get all my testing down this season and sometimes the colors throw me off. I’m going to order some standard solutions for a few other tests but for the K-1766 salt test which color do I stop at? I hear milky salmon but also brick red.

The first drop shown in the video (drop 17) below turns the solution a light pink salmon but almost seems to go back to yellow to me - but not like the flashing I’ve seen with earlier drops. The next drop (drop 18) then turns the solution a dark red which seems more like the brick color. Which is correct?

End,

The salt test does not actually require a specific color... You stop the instant it changes from cloudy to some kind of salmon pink, AND does not quickly change back to cloudy..

For me it will change from cloudy to pink and then quickly change back two or three times before it changes and stays pink..

Thanks,

Jim R.
