Api KH Carbonate Hardness Test Kit Fw/sw

Product details

API KH CARBONATE HARDNESS TEST KIT FW/SW is a water testing kit that measures Carbonate Hardness (KH) in aquariums. KH reflects dissolved carbonate and bicarbonate ions, which helps support water stability. When KH is too low, pH can shift, which may contribute to stress for tank inhabitants. This kit is practical for routine water checks so you can monitor and respond to changes before they affect water conditions.

Features:

• Drop-based testing method designed to determine carbonate hardness (KH)
• Measures dissolved carbonate and bicarbonate ion concentrations, giving insight into alkalinity-related stability
• Low KH can lead to pH shifts, helping you spot potential risk conditions early
• Uses a simple visual color-change endpoint to indicate the result
• Includes the materials needed to run the test: test fluid and a test tube
• Includes detailed instructions for performing the test consistently

Specifications:

• Test type: KH (Carbonate Hardness) test by drop method with color-change endpoint
• Suitable water: FW/SW (freshwater/saltwater)
• Sample volume: About 5 mL of aquarium water in the test tube
• Reagent addition: Add the test solution drop by drop until the water begins to change color
• Included items: Test fluid, test tube, and detailed instructions
