NT Labs Broad pH Test Kit – Precision for Your Pond’s pH Balance

Understanding pH: The NT Labs Broad Range pH Test Kit is specially designed for testing water within the pH range of 6 – 9, covering the pH spectrum commonly observed in ponds. With enhanced precision offering 0.5 unit determination, this test ensures accurate monitoring of your pond’s pH levels.

Correct pH Level: While there is no universally correct pH level, different fish species have their preferred pH ranges. Generally, the ideal pH value falls between 7 and 8, but it’s essential to consider the specific requirements of the fish you own. Always inquire about the preferred water conditions when purchasing fish from your local aquatic retailer.

What to Do if the pH Level is Off:

  • If adjustments are necessary, make changes slowly to avoid shocking the fish. Limit pH adjustments to no more than 0.5 units every 2 days.
  • Conduct substantial water changes if your tap water has a suitable pH to correct dangerous pH levels.
  • Check the KH (carbonate hardness) of the pond. Use pH adjusters like KH – Buffer Up to raise pH caused by soft or aged water.
  • For fish in soft, acid water, consider using bogwood to gently lower the pH and soften the water.

How to Use:

  1. Ensure the test tube is clean.
  2. Collect a 5ml water sample into the test tube.
  3. Add 5 drops of the pH reagent, replace the test tube cap, and shake thoroughly.
  4. Compare the colour of your sample to the provided colour scale for an accurate pH reading.

Maintain the optimal pH balance in your pond with the NT Labs Broad pH Test Kit.

PH600 PH Pen

This is a simple pen type meter supplied brand new in a plastic box complete with a calibration adjusting screw driver.

This test meter does require the sensor to be dipped in storage solution/water for 40mins prior to use, (as do all pH meters).

A pH meter is very different from a TDS/EC meter and does require the use of a storage solution to maintain the efficiency of the ph electrode that is in the tip of the device. Also it is important that the device is calibrated regularly with calibration solution. We do recommend that you calibrate your meter close to the range you wish to use it in, for most customers this will be at 7.0 pH, but it is pointless calibrating at 4.0 then wishing the meter to be accurate at 7.0 pH.

PH600 pen type/dip meter for testing the pH level of your aquarium water, your koi carp pond water, and of course those critical pH levels needed on hydroponic plant systems.

Colombo Ammonia Pond Test Kit
Colombo Ammonia Pond Test Kit

Colombo Ammonia Pond Test Kit

Ammonia (NH3) is excreted by fish directly into the water, and is also released from the breakdown of solid waste and uneaten food. Ammonia is highly toxic to fish, but is usually removed from the water by the bacteria which live inside the filter.

The only way to know what the ammonia level is, is by testing the water with an Ammonia test kit. Regular testing, especially in new ponds, will prevent damage caused by ammonia poisoning.

Colombo Ammonia Pond Test Kit contains 40 tests.

NT Labs Hardness Test Kit – Comprehensive Monitoring for Your Pond’s Water Quality

Understanding KH (Carbonate Hardness): KH, also known as “total alkalinity” or “carbonate hardness,” measures the buffering capacity of your pond water. This capacity indicates how well the water can resist changes in pH.

What is the Correct KH Level? Maintain a minimum KH level of 4 dKH at all times, with a more desirable range between 6 and 8 dKH. This test kit measures KH in dKH, where one dKH equals 17.8 ppm as CaCO3.

What to Do if the KH Level is Wrong:

  • Check the KH level of your tap water. Regular water changes are sufficient if the tap water KH is above 6 dKH.
  • If tap water KH is below 6 dKH, use a KH buffer like KH – Buffer Up to maintain a suitable level in your pond.

How to Use the KH Test:

  1. Ensure the test tube is clean.
  2. Collect a 5 ml water sample into the test tube.
  3. Add one drop of the KH reagent, mix, and observe the pale blue colour.
  4. Continue adding drops, one by one, mixing between drops until the colour changes from blue to yellow.
  5. The number of drops needed for the colour change equals the KH value in dKH.

Understanding GH (General Hardness): GH measures the total minerals dissolved in water, with water hardness ranging from ‘soft’ to ‘hard’ based on mineral content. Hard water can lead to limescale build-up.

What is the Correct GH Level? For pond fish, the ideal GH level is between 8 and 12 dGH. This test kit measures GH in dGH, where one degree equals 17.8 ppm as CaCO3.

What to Do if the GH Level is Wrong:

  • Test the GH of your tap water. If too hard, consider using alternative water sources like reverse osmosis water to lower GH.
  • In ponds, where rainwater may lower GH over time, use GH & Minerals Up to boost GH to a suitable level.

How to Use the GH Test:

  1. Ensure the test tube is clean.
  2. Collect a 5 ml water sample into the test tube.
  3. Add two drops of GH A reagent, mix, and observe the dark pink colour.
  4. Add one drop at a time of GH B reagent, counting the drops between mixing until the solution changes from pink to blue.
  5. The number of drops needed for the colour change equals the GH value in dGH.

Maintain the balance of KH and GH in your pond with NT Labs Hardness Test Kit, ensuring optimal water quality and a healthy environment for your fish. Trust NT Labs for precise water testing solutions.

NT Labs Pond Water Mini Test Kit – Compact Excellence for Essential Pond Water Testing

When to Use: For the conscientious pond keeper, the NT Labs Pond Water Mini Test Kit is your compact companion for ensuring excellent water quality. This mini kit is designed to test three crucial water parameters: pH, Nitrite, and Ammonia. Regular testing is essential to maintain the well-being of your fish and the overall health of your pond.

Understanding Ammonia: Ammonia, excreted by fish as a waste product, is extremely toxic. This kit helps you monitor ammonia levels, crucial for fish health, as it is broken down into less harmful nitrite by beneficial bacteria in the pond filter.

Understanding Nitrite: Nitrite is produced as beneficial bacteria break down harmful ammonia in the pond and filters. While less toxic than ammonia, elevated nitrite levels can still harm fish. Nitrite is further broken down into nitrate, which is less harmful to fish.

Understanding pH: The pH test in this kit measures the acidity or alkalinity of pond water on a scale from 0 to 14. It provides insights into whether your water is acidic, alkaline, or neutral. This information is vital for maintaining a suitable environment for aquatic life.

How to Perform the Tests: This mini kit includes a comprehensive instruction leaflet that guides you through each parameter, their optimal ranges, and recommended actions if readings are outside those ranges. It’s designed to be user-friendly, ensuring accurate and hassle-free testing.

Reported Concentrations for Compatibility: The test kit reports concentrations in terms of nitrogen (NH3-N) or (NO2-N), aligning with reported safe concentrations for fish and plants. If you’re interested in the ionic concentration of the measured parameter, simply multiply the result by 1.21 (NH3-N) or 3.29 (NO2-N).

Key Features:

  • Compact design for testing pH, Nitrite, and Ammonia.
  • Essential for maintaining excellent water quality in ponds.
  • User-friendly instructions for accurate testing.
  • Compatible concentrations for fish and plants.

Trust the NT Labs Pond Water Mini Test Kit for efficient and reliable testing of crucial parameters in your pond. Keep your fish and pond environment healthy with regular monitoring using this compact yet powerful kit. Choose NT Labs for precision in pond water testing.
