Water Alkalinity Test Kit (Aqua Base)
The test kit able to detect Alkalinity Value which comprise of Total Alkalinity and Bicarbonate Alkalinity. The test kit contains 3 Reagents and Reagent 1 refill. The test can be conducted on weekly basics to monitor pH buffering capacity of water. Optimum level of Total Alkalinity able minimize pH fluctuations.
Function
- Perform Water Alkalinity Test with high accuracy.
- Tool for routinely daily water checking and monitoring of water quality in shrimp/fish pond.
Description
The test kit able to detect Alkalinity Value which comprise of Total Alkalinity and Bicarbonate Alkalinity. The test kit contains 3 Reagents and Reagent 1 refill.

Function
- Perform Water Alkalinity Test with high accuracy.
- Tool for routinely daily water checking and monitoring of water quality in shrimp/fish pond.
METHOD: Titration
200 determinations.
Procedure
- Rinse the measuring vessel with the test sample and fill to 5 ml mark.
- Add 1 drop of REAGENT 2 and mix. If the water sample turns pink. Add REAGENT 1 drop by drop and mix well after addition of each drop until color of water sample changes from pink to colorless (Count the number of drop).
- Add 1 drop of REAGENT 3 and mix. The water sample turns blue.
- Add REAGENT 1 drop by drop and mix well after addition of each drop until color of water sample changes from blue to orange (Count the number of drop)
- Read the value of Total Alkalinity and Bicarbonate Alkalinity from Table of Alkalinity Value.
NOTE:
If the water sample does not change to pink after adding REAGENT 2, addition REAGENT 3 can be continued.
If water sample change pink after addition of REAGENT 2. The pH of water likely above 8.0.
FORMULA
Total Alkalinity (ppm): 10 x Total number of drops of REAGENT 1 using to change color of water sample from pink to colorless and from blue to orange respectively.
Bicarbonate Alkalinity (ppm): Total Alkalinity- (Number of drops of REAGENT 1 using to change from pink to colorless x 20)
