Note: Powder reagent for Phosphate test was added using the new (white) spoon which is a bit larger than the older spoon. Phosphate reading is higher compared to previous tests.
Note 2: The brown flake-like precipitates in the DO test took quite long to dissolve, had to add more than usual drops of sulphuric acid.
