Tetrapond 7in1 Tests

Tetra Pond Test 7in1Test strips to quickly and reliably determine the seven most important water values in ornamental ponds.Tetra Pond Test 7in1 enables you to quickly and reliably determine the seven most important water values in ornamental ponds in one simple step. Evaluate the level of pH, carbonate hardness (KH), general hardness (GH), nitrite (NO2-), nitrate (NO3-), chlorine (Cl2) and carbon dioxide (CO2).Tetra Pond Test 7in1 enables you to quickly and reliably determine the seven most important water values in ornamental ponds. Evaluate the level of pH, carbonate hardness (KH), general hardness (GH), nitrite (NO2-), nitrate (NO3-), chlorine (Cl2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in one simple step: dip a test strip into the water, swirl it for about two seconds and tap off any excess water. Read off the information about the water values only one minute later. The colour chart on the tin of the test strips can be used to evaluate whether the water parameters are within the safe range to maintain a biological balance for fish, plants and microorganisms in your ornamental pond. You can find the exact limit values ??and possible countermeasures in the enclosed instructions.

To guarantee the function of the test strips do not touch the test fields or hold them under flowing water. The latest addition in Tetra Pond Test 7in1 determines the level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the pond water. CO2 is especially required for your pond plants to thrive. Furthermore the pH, general and carbonate hardness (GH + KH), nitrite (NO2-), nitrate (NO3-) as well as chlorine (Cl2) in the garden pond water are measured. Pond inhabitants react very sensitively to excessive changes in the pH value, which impacts their well-being. The general hardness affects the vital functions of fish, while the carbonate hardness has a direct influence on the stability of the pH value (pH buffer). To stabilise the pH and KH values Tetra recommends the Tetra Pond WaterStabiliser. The Tetra Pond Test 7in1 also measures the nitrite and nitrate values of the pond water. Nitrite is extremely harmful for the biological balance in your pond, even in very low concentrations, and should not be detectable in the water. Nitrate is a nutrient that helps plants to grow. However, excessively high levels of NO3- can be harmful to fish and promote excessive algae growth. Chlorine may also be present in the water as it is often contained in tap water. Just like nitrite, chlorine should not be detectable in the pond water and always be treated with Tetra Pond AquaSafe.Product FeaturesWater test to check the seven most important water values in one stepMeasures the pH, general and carbonate hardness (GH + KH), nitrite (NO2-), nitrate (NO3-), chlorine (Cl2) and carbon dioxide (CO2)Track water values regulary as an early warning system for poor water qualityFull information and tips on possible countermeasures can be found in the instructions for useTest water parameters in pondStorage InstructionsStore in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.Application SuggestionAttention: Do not touch the test fields and do not hold them under running water!How to test:Dip the test strip into the water and move it 2 to 3 times. Tap off excess liquid. Wait approx. 60 seconds and compare the test fields with the colour scales.Chlorine (Cl2):Chlorine may be contained in tap water. As it is harmful to fish and bacteria, the water should always be treated with Tetra Pond AquaSafe before new tap water is added to the ornamental pond.By using Tetra Pond AquaSafe, the chlorine contained in the tap water is neutralised and toxic heavy metals are bound.Carbon dioxide (CO2):Carbon dioxide is required to generate good plant growth.Determine the CO2 -value from the CO2 –table.If the value is too high, use an air pump.
