FAQs

How often should I test my pond water?

Ideally, test your pond water weekly or bi-weekly. More frequent testing is recommended during periods of heavy feeding, after adding new fish, or if you observe any signs of distress in your fish.

What does a high ammonia level mean?

High ammonia levels are toxic to fish and often indicate an imbalance in the pond's ecosystem, such as overfeeding, inadequate filtration, or overcrowding. Action should be taken immediately to reduce the levels.

What do I do if my nitrite level is high?

High nitrite levels can also be harmful to fish. Perform a partial water change and investigate the cause, as it might indicate an issue with your biological filter.

How do I lower the pH of my pond?

If your pH is too high, you can consider using a pH-lowering product, available from NT Labs or other pond supply stores. Follow the instructions on the product label. Partial water changes can also help.

What if the test results don't match the chart?

Ensure you're comparing the color change to the appropriate section of the chart. If the results consistently seem off, double-check your testing procedure and the expiration date of the kit.

Where can I purchase a replacement kit?

Replacement kits can be purchased from most pet stores and online retailers that specialize in pond supplies. Check with your local supplier.

How long does the test kit last?

The NT Labs Pond Health Check Kit offers 130 tests and will last for a reasonable amount of time depending on testing frequency. Always check the expiration date on the kit.

Troubleshooting

Test results seem inconsistent or unclear.

Double-check the instructions and ensure you're following each step accurately. Make sure the reagents are not expired and that your water sample is representative of the pond.

Color changes on test strips are difficult to read.

Perform the test in good lighting. Compare the color change to the provided chart in the kit carefully.
