Description
This mini multi-purpose water testing kit tests for 5 different elements: nitrate, nitrite, total hardness, total alkalinity and pH in one test strip.
- 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 water
- Accurate test results for each element are achieved in just over one minute
- This product is safe and easy to use since there are no chemicals to mix, an MSDS is not required
Suitable for: fresh water, aquariums, aquacultures, ponds, drinking water, lakes and streams as well as rain water
Contains: 25 test strips, each testing for each of the listed elements
Total Test Time: approx. 1 minute 30 seconds
Testing Levels:
- pH (read first): 5.5, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.5
- Total Alkalinity (read second): 0, 40, 80, 120, 180, 300, 720 ppm (mg/l)
- Total Hardness (read third): 0, 25, 75, 150, 300, 1,000 ppm (mg/l)
- Nitrite* (read fourth): 0, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 10, 20 ppm (mg/l)
- Nitrate *(read fifth): 0, 20, 40, 80, 160, 200 ppm (mg/l)
*Results are shown as Nitrite (NO2) and Nitrate (NO3), not in Nitrogen (N). To show Nitrite result as Nitrite-Nitrogen divide result by 3.3, for Nitrate to Nitrate-Nitrogen divide by 4.4.
How to use:
- Dip one test strip into water for two seconds.
- Remove the strip and shake once to remove excess water.
- Wait 25 seconds and compare your pH, alkalinity and hardness results with the chart on the bottle. After a minute, compare your nitrite and nitrate results.
General description: For semi-quantitative determinations. Detection method: colorimetric. Fast, simply dip and read indicator paper. Consists of a plastic strip with attached sealed test paper. Compare colour change of test paper with fields of equal size on colour chart.
