🧪 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.
