## Questions & Answers

**Q: What the is difference between this kit and the Hach HA-71a (145201)?**
A: This kit will only read in gpg or grains per gallon. Test Kit HA-71A will read in mg/L or gpg. 1 gpg is approx. 17 mg/L, so HA-71A allows for much lower concentration readings. The other difference is the test range. This kit reads 0-30 gpg. Kit HA-71A can read 0-20 mg/L and 0-20 gpg.

A: This kit should work in most salt free systems.
