PRODACtest KH - Carbonate hardness test

Water test for determining the carbonate hardness (KH - temporary hardness) - suitable for freshwater and saltwater aquariums

Carbonate hardness test set Instructions for use

  1. Rinse the cuvette several times with the water to be tested and then fill it up with exactly 5 ml of water *.
  2. Add the reagent drop by drop, shaking the sample after each drop. Please do not forget to count the drops count the drops! Add more drops until the mixture changes colour from light yellow to red-violet
  3. As soon as the red-violet colour is reached, leave the cuvette to rest for approx. 30 seconds; if the colour disappears, add more drops of reagent until the colour remains stable
  4. The carbonate hardness in ° dKH corresponds to the number of drops of reagent required to achieve the red-violet colour. 1 drop corresponds to 1° dKH
  5. The sensitivity of the test can be increased by doubling the sample size to e.g. 10 ml. Then each drop of the test solution corresponds to 0.5° dKH

* The meniscus of the water surface must touch the 5 ml graduation mark exactly

Caution

Clean the cuvette after use, close the reagent bottle tightly and store in a cool, dry place away from light
Keep out of reach of children!
