OK in my quest to find monitors that make checking water parameters EASY,,,
I'm hoping someone out there has some experience with the Hanna monitors....

Thanks much for any input

What do you want to know? I have the calc., alk., and phosphate hand checkers. Like anything pretty simple to use once you know how.
 
I use their phosphate and alkalinity. I've heard in the past that the calcium one isn't as accurate, so I use the red sea pro for that. The accuracy on it might be better now, but I'm totally happy with the red sea pro kit, and will keep using that. The checkers are very easy to use, and I find them reliable. One trick that I've learned is to keep any handprints, etc. off the outside of the tube, otherwise the reading will be off. I always hold the tube with a towel to keep it clean.
 
I have all 3 and the alk and phosphate work great. You have to be careful with the calcium one. The old type regents were not very accurate, but the new reagents work great. The hard part if figuring out which reagents you are ordering.
 
I used the Alk and Phosphate checkers and they're really easy to use. Only tricky part for me was getting all the phosphate reagent into the vial (reagent comes in powder form).
