Tetra Pond Ammonia Test Kit

Tetra Pond Ammonia Test Kit

Simple to use kit for determining ammonia levels. Ammonia (NH3/4+) is excreted by fish directly into the water, and is also released from the breakdown of solid waste and uneaten food. Ammonia is highly toxic to fish, but is usually removed from the water by the bacteria which live inside the filter. However, in new ponds, or if the filter bacteria are damaged, the ammonia level may become toxic. The only way to determine the ammonia level is by testing it with a TetraPond Ammonia kit. Regular testing, especially in new ponds, will prevent damage caused by ammonia poisoning.

• Highly accurate liquid test
• Simple to use
• Contains 50 tests
• Excellent long-term stability

Application

The TetraPond Ammonia kit is a liquid kit, which works by changing the colour of a water sample in relation to the ammonia concentration. You simply need to compare the colour of the sample to the easy-to-read colour chart in order to determine the ammonia level.

We recommend testing for ammonia every 2-3 days in a new pond and once a week in an established pond.

Always read the instructions carefully before use. If ammonia levels are high then you should seek advice as to the underlying cause.
