It's amazing that as soon as I recommend something to the net, it
either becomes "unavailable" or "expensive" all of a sudden.  Go
figure. 

I believe Lamotte also has a book on water chemistry or at least on
what their test kits measure.  Call them and ask [quickly!].

Also try calling Hach tech support.  They certainly should tell you
how the test works or what it is measuring.
