Good water quality is essential for the plants and fish in your aquarium or pond. With the eSHa AQUA-QUICK-TEST you can monitor five values which are crucial for good water quality: pH (acidity), KH (carbonate hardness), GH (general hardness), nitrite (NO2) and nitrate (NO3). It’s important for you to understand what can cause abnormal values and what action you can take if the test strip indicates that the water quality is not good.
Instructions
1  With dry hands remove one eSHa Aqua-Quick- Teststrip from container and close container im- mediately.
Do not touch test squares with your fingers.
2  Dip test strip for one second in aquarium or pond water. All test squares on the strip should be immersed.
3  Gently shake any remaining water off test strip. Do this with one quick shake.
4  Chlorine: Compare the colour of the Chlorine field immediately with the colour on the con- tainer.
5 Compare the remaining colours on the test strip after 60 seconds with the colour chart on the container.
6 Write down the values measured and other relevant data (date, time, place and water tem- perature) in the record of measurements inclu- ded with these instructions.
7 If necessary, take steps to restore the water quality in your aquarium or pond.
When in doubt, contact a reputable aquarium specialist.
