Tetra 6 in 1 Test for water analysis

13,00 

Tetra 6 in 1 Test allows you to roughly measure the parameters of nitrate (NO3), nitrite (NO2), total hardness (GH), carbonate hardness (KH), pH and chlorine.

In a pond, the water parameters you should be most interested in are pH, GH and KH, which are the important ones for checking that the environment is suitable for plants to live and develop.

The pH value indicates the degree of acidity of the water. A value of 7 is neutral. A pH value below 7 indicates that the water is acidic. Above 7 indicates that it is alkaline or basic. To give a practical example, lemon juice is acidic, distilled water is neutral and sodium bicarbonate is basic.
The pH value of your pond water should be between 6.5 and 8 for the health of your plants.

Tetra 6 in 1 Test contains 25 test strips.
