A Must For All New pond Owners

I bought this product after I had constructed a fish pond in my garden. I wanted to test the water before I purchased fish to introduce into the pond and then to monitor the water quality from time to time thereafter.

Provided you read the instructions beforehand, the kit is very easy to use. You must take care to use only the correct amount of water and the correct amount of the various chemicals in order to check the water quality. All is easily explained. I found that it was easier to use a syringe to draw water from the pond to test, but this is not essential and a syringe is not supplied as part of the kit.

I won't go into great detail but basically you put pond water in a series of test tubes and add supplied chemicals to individual test tubes which change the colour of the pond water. By comparing the pond water colour with supplied charts you can then determine the pH of the water and the levels of ammonia, nitrates and phosphates in the pond. Very easy to use and gives you peace of mind when you introduce fish.

The cost might seem high at first, but you can use the kit over and over again. I will certainly purchase another when the chemicals in mine are used as it makes good sense to check the quality of your pond water on a regular basis.

API POND MASTER TESTING KIT

A simple to use liquid pond testing kit which is far superior to the tablet type where the tablets have to be crushed & test tube shaken.

Great value test kit.

Having used this one before, they are easy to use giving accurate results. Just keep a eye on the use by date ( my previous one was 8 years old but still giving good results).

Great value. Easy to use.

Very e asy to use. Results are good enough for the average pond keeper. Does loads of tests so bear with the price. Gives guidance on how to interpret the results and how to correct any results.
One negative point is the test tubes are glass and break easily would have been better if these were plastic.Read full review

Not a bad test kit

Simple to use, the colour chart makes it way to check the condition of any pond or aquarium

I am hoping I can buy the test bottles when they run out (it’s not going to last forever)
It’s cheaper on eBay than the specialist shops by about 20 quid
They are the same kits

Brilliant, knew the water wasn't right as lost 2 kio very upsetting as had them many years, so needed this kit soon found what it was.

Without this kit you don't know what's going on with the water.
