Description
This 5-in-1 water test has been designed for fresh and sea water aquariums & ponds, and is ideal to test any fresh & salt water. It checks tests for 5 different elements: nitrate, nitrite, total hardness, total alkalinity and pH in one test strip.The special pH test pad is designed for low-ionic and low-buffered waters present in aquariums. The test strips measure water hardness due to calcium carbonate and can help you determine whether you have hard or soft water in just seconds.
- Simple Dip-Wait-Read Testing Method
- Fast and accurate results
- Test strips are stored in a plastic container to protect them
- Ideal for quick and reliable testing of fresh & sea water

- Nitrate**: 0, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 ppm (mg/l)
*measured as calcium carbonate**For the nitrite test pad, the unit of measure is as nitrite, not nitrite-nitrogen. For the nitrate test pad, the unit of measure is as nitrate, not nitrate-nitrogen.
How to use:
- Dip one strip with all pads into water sample for 2-3 seconds with gentle motion.
- Remove strip and hold level.
- Wait 1 minute, then compare colour change to colour chart on the container.
