Re: Calibrating Refractometer with Pinpoint Fluid

Terry,
Sorry, missplaced a decimal.

Yes, .001. Not too shabby.
The hydrometer was off by .005. Had my salinity pretty high.

Althea, the only problem with using RO water is you never know how old the filter membrane is and there is still stuff in RO water that is why people add the (DI) Deioniezing filters. That is why I used distilled.

Being off .01 is really bad. That's 1.024 compared to 1.034 for instance.

People come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
