Prior to adding lime, my Alk and Hardness were immeasurable and PH would climb to over 9 during the day. After adding 500# of lime the Alk came up to around 60ppm, but my hardness is still 0. My PH stays between 7.2 and 8.0 now. My well water measures better readings of all three with the same test kit, so I'm confident you'll get accurate readings with the strips.
