JBL ProAquaTest pH 6.0–7.6 – pH water test
JBL ProAquaTest pH 6.0–7.6 is a precise drop test for freshwater aquariums. It comes with a laboratory comparator system, colour scale, 2 glass cuvettes and reagent – sufficient for approx. 80 measurements.
The JBL ProAquaTest pH 6.0–7.6 is an easy-to-use drop test for accurately determining the pH value in freshwater aquariums. The measuring range from pH 6.0 to 7.6 is particularly suitable for community aquariums, planted aquariums and aquascapes where a slightly acidic to neutral pH value needs to be maintained.
A stable pH value is important for the well-being of fish, shrimps and plants. As many dissolved substances in the water are affected by the pH value, significant fluctuations should be avoided. The JBL test helps to detect changes at an early stage and to check water parameters regularly.
Thanks to the laboratory comparator system, any natural colouration of the aquarium water is compensated for. To do this, one cuvette is filled with aquarium water and reagent, whilst a second cuvette serves as a control sample. The value is then read off the colour scale. The test kit is sufficient for approx. 80 measurements and contains reagent, 2 glass cuvettes with screw caps, a pipette, a comparator block and a colour scale.

Instructions for use
Fill the cuvettes with aquarium water in accordance with the instructions. Add the reagent to one cuvette, place both cuvettes in the comparator block and compare the colour with the colour chart provided. After the measurement, the cuvettes and syringe should be rinsed thoroughly with clean water.
When setting up a new aquarium, JBL recommends measuring the pH value daily during the first week. After that, a check once a week is usually sufficient, provided no particular problems or significant changes occur in the aquarium.
Zoo Roco Tip
The pH value should always be considered alongside other water parameters such as KH, GH, nitrite and nitrate. Regular monitoring is particularly advisable when using CO₂ fertilisation, carrying out water changes or keeping sensitive fish and shrimp species.
