Secret water test strips set 6 in 1 (50pcs)
Water testing is the foundation for maintaining a healthy pond. By focusing on water quality, the pond will become more stable, allowing you to enjoy the pond and its inhabitants more. To naturally prevent algae growth and create an optimal environment for the fish, water quality is paramount!
To know this, it is important to regularly measure the pond water and respond if necessary.

These Secret test strips are easy to read and allow you to measure the following values:
Nitrate > When ammonia is converted to nitrite by the nitrifying bacteria in the biological filter, nitrate is ultimately formed. Nitrate is a much less hazardous substance than ammonia and nitrite. We want to keep these levels as low as possible in the pond. Read more about nitrate.
Nitrite > Nitrite (NO2-) is formed from ammonia in the biological filter. When nitrite levels in the pond become too high, its inhabitants can become vulnerable. We want to keep these levels as low as possible in the pond. Read more about nitrite.
GH > When discussing water hardness, terms like GH (Gesamt Härte, General Hardness) and KH (Karbonat Härte, Carbonate Hardness) come into focus. The ideal GH value in a pond is between 8 and 14 degrees Celsius. Read more about the GH value.
KH > The KH of pond water is extremely important. Its importance is often underestimated and can lead to a pH crash. The ideal KH value in a pond is between 5 and 8. Read more about KH values.
pH > Acidity, hereinafter referred to as pH, is one of the most important water parameters to monitor. Our pond fish prefer a pH between 7 and 8, and it's crucial that it remains stable throughout the day. Read more about pH.
CL2 > Some water companies add chlorine to tap water to disinfect it. Unlike a swimming pool, pond water must contain absolutely no chlorine. Even in very small amounts, chlorine is not tolerated by aquatic plants or pond fish. Therefore, it is crucial that a pond's chlorine level is 0.
The 6 most important parameters of your pond water can be tested with these test strips.
A total of 50 water tests can be done with 1 package.
