Measuring Reactor Effluent with Salifert Test kits

[MADJABJOE]

Can someone tell me how to measure the effluent from my calcium reactor using Salifert test kits. The kit for CA only goes to 500 and Alkalinity only goes to about 16 or 17 meq. My reactor is producing quantities outside the test kit ranges. How do I measure these quantities when they are so high.

Sure Mad Joe just dilute the effluent with RO/DI water. Try about 1/5^ths effluent to 4/5^ths RO/DI and if that doesn't get you into range try a tenth and so forth down the line.
