JBL GH Test - GH quick test to determine the total hardness in freshwater aquariums and ponds
Simple and reliable control of water values in ponds/aquariums. Determines the ideal total hardness for freshwater aquariums and ponds
Colour change test: fill plastic cuvette with sample water, add reagent drop by drop until colour changes from red to green. Number of drops = level of GH (total hardness)
When to use: for setting up a new aquarium: once a week
Online Laboratory: regular control for a healthy aquarium/pond with conditions close to nature. JBL has water tests in the form of quick tests or colour change tests for every water analysis. Testing aquarium water for healthy, clear water
Package contents: 1 quick test, GH Test. Incl. reagent and plastic vial. Refill reagent avaiable separately
Healthy aquarium/healthy pond with conditions close to natureThe right water values are dependent on the fish stock and the plants in the aquarium/pond. Even if the water looks clear it can be contaminated. With bad values diseases or algae can appear in the aquarium/pond. To maintain a healthy aquarium/pond with conditions close to nature it is important to check and adapt the water values regularly.For each water analysis JBL provides water tests in the form of quick tests or colour change tests. These determine a certain value or several values in one go. With these water tests you can recognise algae problems and negative nitrate, nitrite, potassium, magnesium values etc.Why test?Depending on origin and consistency of the subsoil, water may contain varying quantities of alkaline earth salts, usually in the form of calcium and magnesium salts. General hardness, by definition, is the sum of calcium and magnesium ions suspended in the water. Most fish and plants thrive well at a general hardness of between roughly 8 and 20°dH. Excessive total hardness values, should, however, be counteracted by the appropriate measures.JBL Online LaboratoryRegular control for a healthy aquarium/pond with conditions close to nature.

Everything you need to know about pond water testing for well-maintained garden ponds
Pond water tests are an important tool for regularly monitoring water quality in your garden pond. With the right tests, you can check key water parameters such as pH, carbonate hardness, total hardness, nitrite, nitrate, ammonium or phosphate. This allows you to detect changes at an early stage and take targeted action before fish, plants or the pond’s ecosystem are affected.
Easily monitor water parameters in your garden pond
The water quality in a garden pond is influenced by many factors: fish stock, feeding, filter performance, plant life, sunlight, rainwater and organic matter such as leaves all play an important role. A pond water test gives you a quick overview of the condition of the water, allowing you to better tailor the care of your garden pond.
Test strips, drop tests and water test kits
There are various ways to monitor pond water parameters. Test strips are particularly easy to use and provide a quick initial assessment. Drop tests allow for a more accurate measurement of individual water parameters and are particularly suitable for fish ponds, koi ponds or ponds with sensitive aquatic ecosystems. Water test kits combine several tests and are ideal for regular monitoring.
Key water parameters in the pond
The most important water parameters in a garden pond include pH, carbonate hardness, nitrite, nitrate, ammonium and phosphate. The pH level indicates whether the water is more acidic or alkaline. Nitrite and ammonium can be problematic for fish, whilst phosphate and nitrate can promote algae growth. Regular monitoring helps to maintain the biological balance in the pond.
Ideal for problems with algae, cloudy water or fish stock
Pond water tests are particularly useful if the water changes colour, algae are growing rapidly or fish are behaving unusually. It is also worth checking the key parameters after setting up a new pond, after a water change, when using water treatment products, or after cleaning the filter and pond system. This makes it easier to identify the causes and select the appropriate maintenance measures.
