TetraPond pH Test Kit

SPECIFICATIONS / PRICES

pH is a measure of how acidic pond water is. Fish do not like fluctuating pH levels, and need to be kept within a specific pH range. The only way to determine the pH of the water is with a TetraPond pH kit.

How it Works
The TetraPond pH kit is a liquid kit, which works by changing the colour of a water sample in relation to the pH level. You simply need to compare the colour of the sample to the enclosed colour chart, to determine the pH.

How to Use
In order to check the pH level, thoroughly rinse the test vial out under the tap, and allow it to dry. Then; 1. fill the vial to the 5ml mark; 2. hold the pH reagent bottle upside down and add 7 drops to the vial; 3. close the cover and shake the vial gently; 4. compare the colour of the liquid to the colour chart to obtain pH value. Always read the instructions carefully prior to testing.

TetraPond Nitrite Test Kit

SPECIFICATIONS / PRICES

Nitrite is produced from the breakdown of ammonia in the filter. Nitrite is highly toxic to fish, but is usually removed from the water by the bacteria which live inside the filter. However, in new ponds, or if the filter bacteria are damaged, the nitrite level may become toxic. The only way to know what the nitrite level is, is by testing the water with a TetraPond Nitrite kit. Regular testing, especially in new ponds, will prevent damage caused by nitrite poisoning.

How it Works
The TetraPond Nitrite kit is a liquid kit, which works by changing the colour of a water sample in relation to the nitrite concentration. You simply need to compare the colour of the sample to the easy-to-read colour chart in order to determine the nitrite level.

How to Use
In order to test the nitrite level, simply take a sample of pond water in a jug, and then use some of this to wash out the test vial. Then:
1. fill the vial to the 5ml mark;
2. hold nitrite reagent bottle number 1 upside down and add 7 drops, close vial and shake gently;
3. After 10 seconds add 7 drops of nitrite reagent number 2, close vial and shake gently;
4. Leave vial to stand for 2 to 5 minutes for full colour development. Compare the colour of the liquid to the nitrite colour chart to obtain the concentration. Always read the instructions carefully before use. If nitrite levels are high then you should seek advice as to the underlying cause.

TetraPond Ammonia Test Kit

SPECIFICATIONS / PRICES

Ammonia is excreted by fish directly into the water, and is also released from the breakdown of solid waste and uneaten food. Ammonia is highly toxic to fish, but is usually removed from the water by the bacteria which live inside the filter. However, in new ponds, or if the filter bacteria are damaged, the ammonia level may become toxic. The only way to know what the ammonia level is, is by testing the water with a TetraPond Ammonia kit. Regular testing, especially in new ponds, will prevent damage caused by ammonia poisoning.

How it Works
The TetraPond Ammonia kit is a liquid kit, which works by changing the colour of a water sample in relation to the ammonia concentration. You simply need to compare the colour of the sample to the easy-to-read colour chart in order to determine the ammonia level.

How to Use
In order to test the ammonia level, simply take a sample of pond water in a jug, and then use some of this to wash out the test vial. Then:
1. fill the vial to the 5ml mark with the water to be tested;
2. hold bottle 1 upside down and add 14 drops to the vial, close it and shake gently;
3. hold bottle number 2 upside down, add 7 drops to the vial, close and shake gently;
4. hold bottle number 3 upside down and add 7 drops to the vial, close and shake gently. Leave the vial for twenty minutes to allow the colour to develop;
5. Match the colour of the sample to the colour chart in order to obtain the ammonia concentration. Always read the instructions carefully before use. If ammonia levels are high then you should seek advice as to the underlying cause.

TetraPond Water Test Set

SPECIFICATIONS / PRICES

The TetraPond Water Test Set offers an easy way to check the health of your pond. Ammonia and nitrite are natural waste products formed within the pond, that are toxic to fish, plants and other aquatic life. The only way to determine their concentration is to test the water, which is why the Water Test Set is an essential piece of kit for every pond owner. In addition, the kit measures the pH, or acidity, of the water, which is also important for maintaining health and condition in fish.

How it Works
The TetraPond Water Test Set consists of liquid tests, which alter the colour of a pond water sample to reflect the ammonia, nitrite or pH level. The sample is then compared to an easy-to-read colour chart in order to obtain a result.

How to Use
For All:
1.Fill the Vial to the 5ml mark.
pH: 2. hold the pH reagent bottle upside down and add 7 drops to the vial; 3. close the cover and shake gently; 4. compare the colour of the liquid to the colour chart.

Nitrite: 2. hold nitrite reagent bottle number 1 upside down and add 7 drops, close vial and shake gently; 3. After 10 seconds add 7 drops of nitrite reagent number 2, close vial and shake gently; 4. Leave vial to stand for 2 to 5 minutes for full colour.

Ammonia:2. hold bottle 1 upside down and add 14 drops to the vial, close it and shake gently; 3. hold bottle number 2 upside down, add 7 drops to the vial, close and shake gently; 4. hold bottle number 3 upside down and add 7 drops to the vial, close and shake gently.
