Oase Professional Pond Test Kit

Kusuri Nitrite Test Kit

The Kusuri Nitrite Test Kit comprises of 3 x 10 foil sealed tablets, test tube with cap, plastic acetate colour match chart with colour breaks at 0/0.1/0.25/0.5/1.0/2.0 and 4mg/L.

The Kusuri Nitrite Test Kit features Palintest technology components, they are the very best in visual test kits.

The Kusuri Nitrite Test kit features an easy to colour match plastic acetate card, and are supplied with non-degradable foil sealed tablets. Each kit will do 30 tests. The ‚‚¦one off‚‚½ range principle is exactly that!  Buy it once, and you can replenish your kit with refill tablets (for 50 tests) or any other components required, and of course we put plenty of water quality information in our kits, so appropriate action can be taken if results are not as anticipated.

Kusuri Test Kits feature an accurate plastic acetate colour strip. When held up to a daylight source, it is far easier to compare than a paper printed chart.

NT Labs Hardness Test Kit

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

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.
