Laguna pH Test Kit PT-150

• Easy to use
• Immediate results
• Problem-solving advice

pH in pond water greatly affects the health of fish and plants, ammonia toxicity, algae growth, and biological filtration.
The Laguna pH Test Kit provides an accurate and easy way to measure the pH value in your pond water. This test determines whether water is acidic or alkaline, and adjustments can be made accordingly.
Pond water should be tested several times during the week, at different times of the day. This will help reveal any fluctuations in pH that may take place. Verify your pond’s pH level before adding fish and plants.

Ammonia Test Kit PT-155

• Easy to use
• Immediate results
• Problem-solving advice

Ammonia is a dangerous nitrogen compound that can seriously harm pond fish. Fish respiration and the decay of organic matter (ex.: excess food and dead leaves) produces ammonia. In addition, runoff from surrounding areas may introduce compounds that can disrupt biological filtration and result in toxic ammonia levels in your pond.
Ammonia in your pond can be a serious problem and requires the appropriate course of action. Weekly testing of ammonia levels is recommended and will help indicate whether the biological filter in your pond is effectively eliminating ammonia.

Hardness Test Kit
PT-160

• Easy to use
• Immediate results
• Problem-solving advice

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 your 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 the total hardness is within an acceptable range for your pond fish and plants. Pond water with a high hardness value is the main cause of unpleasant mineral deposits on water features.

Nitrite/Nitrate Kit
PT-165

• Easy to use
• Immediate results
• Problem-solving advice

Monitoring the nitrite level in your pond on a weekly basis will help prevent fish loss. Regular testing will reveal problems before your pond fish start to exhibit symptoms associated with stress and disease.
Testing nitrate levels will help indicate the frequency of certain maintenance activities to be preformed on your pond. Nitrate is a natural cumulative by-product of the nitrogen cycle and a major contributing factor to unhealthy pond water. Generally, the greater the biological burden from sources such as fish waste, decomposing plant remnants and organic debris from pond surroundings, the faster the accumulation of nitrate in your pond.

Laguna Test Strips
Quick Test Strips PT-145

• 5 in 1 Test Strips
• Accurate results in 1 minute
• Easy to use
• Safe for fish and pond life

Your pond needs to be tested regularly to help keep it in perfect health.
Regular use of Laguna Quick Test Strips provides pond owners with the essential information. Each test strip measures pH, total hardness, total alkalinity, nitrite, and nitrate levels.
Testing pH and alkalinity levels is very important as the pH value indicates whether water is acidic or alkaline, while the alkalinity value reflects how stable the pH will be. pH in pond water greatly affects the health offish and plant, ammonia toxicity, algae growth, and biological filtration. Pond water should be tested several times during the week, at different times of the day. This will help reveal any fluctuations in pH that may take place. Verify your pond’s pH level before adding fish and plants.
Monitoring the nitrite level in your pond on a weekly basis will help prevent fish loss. Regular testing will reveal problems before your pond fish start to exhibit symptoms associated with stress and disease.
Testing your nitrate levels will help to indicate the frequency that certain maintenance activities need to be preformed on your pond. Nitrate is a natural cumulative by-product of the nitrogen cycle and a major contributing factor to unhealthy pond water. Generally, the greater the biological burden from sources such as fish waste, decomposing plant remnants and organic debris from pond surroundings, the faster the accumulation of nitrate in your pond.
