Frequently Asked Questions - pH 3 0-10 0 Test JBL

How to use the JBL pH 3.0-10.0 test kit?

Rinse the test tube with the water to be tested. Fill to the 5 ml mark. Add 4 drops of reagent, mix, let stand for 3 minutes. Compare the color to the color chart on a white background.

What is the measurement range of this test?

This test can measure pH from 3.0 to 10.0, covering freshwater, marine water, and garden ponds.

How many drops of reagent should be added?

Exactly 4 drops of the provided reagent should be added to the test tube containing 5 ml of water.

How long should you wait before reading the result?

After adding the reagent and mixing, wait 3 minutes before comparing the color to the color chart.

How to interpret the color obtained?

The color obtained in the test tube should be visually compared to the provided color chart, placing it on a white background. The pH value corresponds to the closest shade.

Is this test suitable for marine water?

Yes, this test is suitable for marine water as well as freshwater and garden ponds. For marine water, the ideal range is between pH 7.9 and 8.5.

What to do if the pH is too high or too low?

In freshwater, use JBL pH-Minus to lower pH or JBL AquaDur Plus / pH-Plus to increase it. In marine water, use JBL CalciuMarin. For ponds, use JBL StabiloPond KH.

Where can I buy reagent refills?

Reagent refills are available commercially as JBL economical refills. You can find them at aquarium supply retailers.

Is the reagent dangerous?

Yes, the reagent is flammable (H226). Keep out of reach of children, away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Do not smoke during use.

Can I use this test for my garden pond?

Yes, this test is suitable for garden ponds. Optimal values for ponds are between pH 7 and 8.5.

Achtung

The JBL pH test set 3.0-10 is an easy-to-use, quick test for general guidance and control of the pH level in freshwater and saltwater and in the garden pond, covering the wide pH-range 3.0 to 10.

Why test the pH level?

The well-being of fish, invertebrates and the growth of aquatic plants depend to a large extent on the pH level being kept as constant as possible. Many substances dissolved in water are also liable to changes caused by the pH level. Fluctuations in the pH level, in particular, ought to be avoided. The pH level most conducive for keeping the majority of freshwater fish and plants is in the neutral range around 7. A pH level of around 7.9 -8.5 should be maintained in marine aquariums. Levels of 7.5 - 8.5 are ideal for garden ponds.

For precise measurements of the pH level in the range of 6.0 to 7.6, the range which is important for freshwater aquariums (especially for the control of CO_2 fertilization), use the JBL pH Test

Set 6.0 – 7.6. For precise measurements of the pH level in marine water aquariums and garden ponds use the JBL pH test set 7.4-9.0.

What to do in the event of deviations in the pH level

Freshwater aquariums:

pH levels can be reduced with JBL pH-Minus. However, a more convenient way of adjusting the pH level in freshwater is provided by the JBL PROFLORA CO 2 fertilization system because it supplies aquatic plants with vital CO 2 at the same time.

pH levels can be increased by increasing the carbonate hardness with JBL AquaDur plus or pH-Plus.

Marine aquariums:

pH levels can be increased by increasing the carbonate hardness with JBL CalciuMarin.

Garden pond:

Excessively high pH levels can be stabilised and reduced by increasing the carbonate hardness with StabiloPond KH.

Instructions:

1. Repeatedly rinse measuring vessel with the water to be tested.
2. Fill measuring vessel with the water to be tested up to the 5 ml mark (CAUTION: the lower line of the water level must coincide with the marking).
3. Add 4 drops of the reagent, stir briefly and allow to settle for 3 minutes.
4. Compare the resulting colour on white background with the enclosed colour chart and read the corresponding pH level.

Our tip for the environmentally-friendly users:

All reagents for JBL test sets are available from your retailer as reasonably-priced refill packs!

The instructions are repeated in a series of simple diagrams on the reverse of the colour chart.
