API Pond 5 in 1 Test Strips - PH, NO2, NO3, KH & GH

API Pond 5 in 1 Test Strips are pond water test strips that let you check pH, nitrite, nitrate, carbonate hardness (KH) and general hardness (GH) in one quick dip. They suit pond keepers who want to monitor water conditions regularly without separate vials or multiple test kits.

Key Benefits

• Five key pond water parameters tested with a single strip: pH, nitrite (NO2), nitrate (NO3), carbonate hardness (KH) and general hardness (GH).
• A highly precise colour chart makes the results easy to read and interpret.
• No separate test vial is needed. You dip the strip straight into your pond.
• The snap-cap container keeps unused strips protected and dry, which maintains product stability and extends shelf life.
• A simple way to keep an eye on your pond's water conditions as part of regular maintenance.

How to Use

• Take a test strip from the container and close the snap-cap straight away to keep the remaining strips dry.
• Dip the strip directly into your pond water. No vial is needed.

• Follow the timing and handling instructions printed on the pack for the most reliable reading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which water parameters do these pond test strips measure?
They measure pH, nitrite, nitrate, carbonate hardness (KH) and general hardness (GH).

Do I need a test vial or any extra equipment?
No. You dip a strip directly into your pond and compare the result with the colour chart.

How do I keep the strips in good condition?
Keep unused strips in the snap-cap container and close it after each use. The container protects them and keeps them dry, which helps maintain stability and shelf life.

How many strips are in the pack?
The pack contains 25 test strips.

Why test for nitrite, nitrate, pH and hardness in a pond?
These readings show the condition of your pond water. Regular testing lets you track changes over time, which is useful in South African summers when pond conditions can shift.
