Safety Instructions - Fauna Marin AQUA HOME TEST KH Guia De Inicio Rapido

1. Shake the bottles before use!
2. Rinse out the glass cuvette with tap
water and then several times with
aquarium water.
3. Fill the glass cuvette with exactly
5 ml of aquarium water using the
dosing syringe.
4. Then add 3 drops of reagent A
(indicator) and swirl the cuvette
carefully.
The water sample will turn turquoise.
5. Place the enclosed dropper tip on the
small syringe and draw out
1 ml reagent B (titrator).
6. Now add reagent B from the syringe
to the water sample drop by drop until
the water changes colour from turquoi-
se to dark-blue and violet and finally
to a clear pink colour.
Swirl the cuvette after each new drop.
The measurement is complete when the
sample has reached a clear pink
colour without any blue tinge
(see colour fields on the packaging).
7. The consumption of reagent B
(difference of 1 ml) multiplied by10
constitutes the alkalinity in °dKH.
Example: If the lower side of the
syringe plunger is at 0.28 ml following
titration, then the consumption of
reagent B is 0.72 ml (difference of 1 ml).
0.72 x 10 = 7.2.
The alkalinity of the aquarium water is
7.2 °dKH.
It is possible to carry out the test with a
2.5 ml sample so that the test reagents
last longer or for hard water over
10 °dKH.
If you choose to do this, follow the
procedure described above and
multiply the consumption of reagent B
by 20 following titration.
8. Rinse out the glass cuvette, the syringe
and the dropper tip thoroughly with
tap water after the measurement
process.
How to correct unfavourable
values:
To increase the alkalinity when levels are
too low, we recommend using
Fauna Marin Carbonate MIX or
Fauna Marin Easy dKH.
Also ask our specialists for advice
regarding this.
