Why test pond water?
In order for fish to thrive, water conditions in the pond need to be the same or very similar to those found in nature. This kit measures 5 important parameters: pH, Nitrite, Nitrate, carbonate hardness, & general hardness. Improper levels can cause fish stress, which can lead to illness and death.
When to test pond water?
Regular testing of pH, Nitrite, Nitrate, carbonate hardness, & general hardness is an essential part of routine pond maintenance. Levels should be tested weekly to make sure they do not reach undesirable levels.
