J-QUANT Carbonate Hardness Test Strips – Up to 240 mg/L or 30°dKH
Accurate Carbonate Hardness (KH) Testing for Water Quality in Aquariums, Ponds, Pools & Drinking Water
The J-QUANT Carbonate Hardness Test Strips provide a fast, reliable, and semi-quantitative method for measuring carbonate hardness (KH) in aqueous solutions up to 240 mg/L or 30°dKH. Ideal for monitoring water quality in aquariums, ponds, swimming pools, and drinking water, these test strips help prevent pH fluctuations and maintain a stable aquatic environment.
What is Carbonate Hardness (KH)?
Also known as temporary hardness or total alkalinity, carbonate hardness measures the concentration of carbonate (CO₃²⁻) and bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) ions in water. These ions act as pH stabilizers, helping to buffer water against sudden pH changes—crucial for healthy aquatic life and safe water conditions.
