NT Labs Pond Water Mini Test Kit

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐓 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐬 Mini Pond Water Test Kit checks the three main water parameters in a pond. The kit includes tests for ammonia (NH3), nitrite (NO2) and pH. The kit is supplied with full instructions to help you carry out the tests correctly to ensure the pond maintains the optimum water quality parameters and to help restore perfect water quality should a parameter be incorrect.

 

𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐐𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘: The key to successful fish keeping is excellent water quality. The Aquarium Water Mini tests three water parameters: pH, Nitrite and Ammonia. Ammonia is excreted by fish as a waste product. It is extremely toxic to fish, and is broken down into less toxic nitrite by the beneficial bacteria in the filter of your aquarium.

 

This test kit reports concentration in terms of nitrogen (NH3-N) or (NO2-N) to be compatible with reported safe concentrations as they apply to fish and plants. If you are interested in knowing the ionic concentration of the measured parameter, multiply your result by 1.21 (NH3-N) or 3.29 (NO2-N)

 

𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐀, 𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄, 𝐩𝐇: Ammonia is excreted by fish as a waste product. It is extremely toxic to fish, and is broken down into less toxic nitrite by the beneficial bacteria in the filter of your aquarium.Nitrite is produced by the beneficial bacteria in the pond and filters as they break down harmful ammonia excreted by fish.

Although not as toxic as ammonia, nitrite is still very damaging to the health of the fish. Nitrite itself is broken down into nitrate which is significantly less harmful to fish. pH is the measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the water in your aquarium. The pH scale runs from 0 to 14. Very acid water is pH 0 and very alkaline water is pH 14. Neutral water that is neither acid nor alkaline is pH 7.
