Carbonate Hardness Test Strip

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.

Key Features

• Measures carbonate hardness up to 240 mg/L or 30°dKH

• Results in mg/L as CaCO₃ or degrees of carbonate hardness (dKH)

• Ideal for aquariums, koi ponds, swimming pools, and tap water

• Easy-to-use, no instrumentation required

• Delivers quick, accurate semi-quantitative readings

How to Interpret Results

• 1°dKH = 17.848 mg/L of CaCO₃

• Test strip color chart provides instant comparison

• Use routinely to maintain stable water chemistry

Applications

• Aquarium water testing for freshwater and marine systems

• Pond and koi tank monitoring

• Pool water alkalinity control
