- Easy-to-follow testing instructions
- Supports regular water monitoring
The API KH Carbonate Hardness Test Kit is a key quality control tool that makes it one of the best aquatics marine supplements available to aquarists. The API KH Carbonate Hardness Test Kit is intended for evaluating carbonate hardness, or KH, in tap, fresh, and saltwater aquariums. It helps to stabilise pH levels and prevent dangerous fluctuations that might stress fish and expose them to illness and death.
Key Benefits:
- KH Testing: Accurately measures carbonate hardness in tap, fresh, and saltwater.
- pH Stability: Prevents rapid pH shifts that stress fish and cause illness.
- Complete Kit: Includes test tube, test drops, and easy-to-read colour chart for convenience.
- Regular Monitoring: Encourages consistent testing to maintain a healthy aquarium.
- Simple Instructions: Clear steps and a colour chart guide users to quick results.

safety & precautions
safety & precautions
- Do not allow the reagent to come into contact with your skin. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with water.
- Do not use soap to clean the test tube, as soap residue can harm aquarium inhabitants if reintroduced.
- Shake the reagent bottle vigorously before use, but gently invert the test tube during the test to mix contents.
- Store in a cool, dry place out of reach of children.
- Dispose of used test solutions according to local regulation.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
- Add aquarium water to the test tube up to the marked line.
- Hold the KH solution bottle upright and add drops one by one, counting each drop. Gently swirl the test tube after each drop.
- Continue adding drops until the water in the test tube changes from blue to yellow.
- The number of drops required to reach the yellow endpoint equals your KH level (e.g., 4 drops = 4 dKH).
- Rinse the test tube thoroughly with water after each use to prevent staining and reagent residue.
