Carbonate Hardness (KH) levels need to be tested on a regular basis because they fluctuate over time and can result in unstable pH levels in pond water. Low Carbonate Hardness will result in poor plant growth and potentially contribute to water quality problems.
Testing for General Hardness (GH) should be performed to verify if total hardness is within the acceptable range required for fish and plant health. Water with high hardness values is the main factor in unsightly mineral deposits found on attractive water features.
With Laguna Hardness Test you get fast and accurate measurements to help you manage Carbonate Hardness (KH) and General Hardness (GH) levels in your pond water. The kit includes everything you need to conduct the tests: one 15 mL bottle of carbonate hardness reagent, one 10 mL bottle of general hardness reagent, a test tube with cap, a pipette, a lab base, and an instruction leaflet.
