FAQs

How often should I replace the reagent?

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for reagent replacement, typically every few weeks or months, depending on use.

How do I interpret the color chart?

Match the color of the reagent in the test device to the closest color on the self-adhesive chart to determine the pH and CO2 levels.

Can I use this test kit in a saltwater aquarium?

No, this test kit is specifically designed for freshwater aquariums only.

What should I do if the readings are outside the recommended range?

Perform a water change, adjust your CO2 system (if applicable), and test your water parameters to identify and correct any imbalances. Consult JBL's resources for additional guidance.

How do I clean the test kit?

Rinse the test device with clean aquarium water during water changes. Avoid using soap or other cleaning agents.

What if I see algae growing inside the test kit?

Algae growth can affect readings. Ensure the test kit is placed away from direct light. Clean or replace the test device if algae becomes a problem.

Where can I find replacement reagents?

Replacement reagents are available for purchase separately from JBL or your local aquarium supply store.

What is the lifespan of the test kit?

The test kit itself has a long lifespan, but you will need to replace the reagent regularly.

Troubleshooting

Inaccurate Readings

Check the reagent; replace if expired. Ensure the test device is clean and properly placed away from direct light and strong water currents.

Color Chart Interpretation Difficulties

Ensure good lighting for comparison. Compare the reagent color with the color chart in different lighting conditions to improve accuracy.

Test Device Detaches

Clean the glass surface and suction cups before reattaching. Replace suction cups if they lose their grip.
