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.

Detailed specification:

Range : 0.0 to 14.0 pH
Resolution: .1 pH
Accuracy: ±0.1 pH
Calibration: manual 1 point
Environment: 0 to 50°C / 32 to 122°F; max RH 95%
Battery type /life: 3 x 1.5v, alkaline / 700 hours of use
Dimensions / weight: 150 x 30 x 24 mm / 85 g

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.

Colombo Nitrate Pond Test Kit
Colombo Nitrate Pond Test Kit

Colombo Nitrate Pond Test Kit

Colombo Nitrate Pond Test Kit (NO3), is produced from the breakdown of nitrite in the filter.

Nitrate is relatively harmless to freshwater fish, but its presence can indicate a deterioration in the aquarium environment, and high nitrate will encourage algal growth.

The only way to know what the nitrate level is, is by testing it with a Nitrate test kit.

Colombo Nitrate Pond Test Kit contains 40 tests.

Oase AquaActiv Quickstick 6 in 1

The Oase AquaActiv Quickstick 6 in 1 Water Test Kit from Oase provides a quick and easy way to test for 6 of the most important water parameters in your pond environment.

Water quality is a crucial factor for the biological balance within a pond and the health of fish and other pond inhabitants. Consequently, from time to time it is recommended to check the water parameters and take corrective action if necessary. With Oase AquaActiv Quickstick 6 in 1 you can quickly and easily check six of the most important water values in just over a minute.

Thus from time to time you should also check your tap water that you use to fill your pond.

Oase AquaActiv Quickstick 6 in 1 Tests:
– Chlorine (CL2)
– pH
– Total hardness (GH)
– Carbonate hardness (KH)
– Nitrite (NO2)
– Nitrate (NO3)

Koi Medic Digital Salinity Tester
Koi Medic Digital Salinity Tester

Koi Medic Digital Salinity

The Koi Medic Digital Salinity Tester is the ideal way to test the salinity levels in your Koi pond. This technically advanced device gives fast and accurate results every time. It is very easy to use, simply dip the sensor into the water and read the result.

Using the Salinity Tester each time you add salt to the water will ensure that the water levels have just the right level of salt. It’s important to ensure that the salinity levels are optimised to ensure good fish health and to eliminate parasites in the water.

The Tester uses 4 x 1.5v batteries and has over 150 hours of life. It conserves energy too, thanks to an automatic shut off after 15 minutes.

Please note:

It is strongly advised that you do not add salt directly into the water in large amounts. This may burn the koi. Also check the salinity levels of the water regularly as it can be affected by wet or dry weather conditions.

Key Features:

  • Simple, easy to use sensor
  • Accurate results
  • Over 150 hours of continuous life
  • Shut off feature to save energy
