Regular water testing is key to a healthy aquarium or pond. The JBL ProAquaTest Phosphate PO4 Sensitive Water Test Kit includes everything required to determine the Phosphate level from <0.02 - 1.8mg/l using a colour change test and is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater use.

ProAquaTest Phosphate PO4 Water Test Kit contents: 1 x Phosphate Test Kit with approx. 50 tests, incl. 2 reagents, 2 glass vials with screw caps, syringe, dosing spoon, comparator block and colour scale.

Why test for Phosphate?
Phosphate normally enters the water within an aquarium environment as a result of the digestive processes of fish or via left over food. In a pond, phosphate generally enters the water as a result of rotting leaves and dying pond plants or algae. In some cases, the phosphate levels may reach values that are sometimes 100 times higher than natural levels. These unfavourable phosphate levels will inevitably result in undesirable algae multiplying exponentially as a consequence.

Recommended Phosphate Values: 

• Freshwater aquarium (community aquarium): 0-0.4 mg/l
• Lake Malawi/Lake Tanganyika aquarium: 0-0.4 mg/l
• Plant aquarium with few fish (aquascaping): 0.1-1.5 mg/l
• Marine aquarium: 0-0.1 mg/l
• Pond: <0.5 mg/l

You can analyse the water values you have measured in the JBL Online Laboratory free of charge and receive recommendations.
