🧪 Carbonate hardness test (alkalinity) - essential control of pH stability
Monitor the concentration of carbonates and bicarbonates in your tank water, ensuring pH stability and the ideal balance for your water system.
⚙️ What is Carbonate Hardness (KH)?
- It refers to the total concentration of titlatable bases, especially carbonates (CO₃²⁻) and bicarbonates (HCO₃⁻).
- It works as a buffering system, avoiding sudden changes in the pH of the water.
- Largest KH means greater pH stability, essential for fish health and functioning of biological processes.
- It also allows measuring the concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide in the water.
🧾 Mode of use:
- Fill the beaker to the 5 ml mark with tank water.
- Drot droplets the gout the reagent solution, shaking after each drop. Note the color change from light green to intense green and finally to living red (final reaction point).
- Write down the number of drops used; Each drop corresponds to 1 ° DH.
- For greater accuracy, use 10 ml of water (double the sample); In this case, each drop is equivalent to 0.5 ° DH (multiply the number of drops by 0.5).
- Ideal values: For intensive tanks, KH between 6.5 ° DH and 10 ° DH with pH between 8.2 and 8.3.
