This mini multi-purpose water testing kit tests for 5 different elements: nitrate, nitrite, total hardness, total alkalinity and pH in one test strip.

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:

*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:

  1. Dip one test strip into water for two seconds.
  2. Remove the strip and shake once to remove excess water.
  3. 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.
