You should test your pond water approx. every week. For small ponds it may be more often than that and for large ponds, it may be less frequent. For new ponds, test it every few days for the first few weeks to get a good basis of where you're pond is at, chemically. Whenever you add fish, eliminate a pump or filter, etc., you will want to test more often. You should be aware that sunlight and warm temperatures also affect the pond's ecosystem.
Plants and fish require an optimal pH range to survive.
The pH Test will determine the pH value of your pond water. By classifying your
water as acidic or alkaline, you can create a natural habitat for your fish and
plants
Ammonia is a dangerous nitrogen compound that can
seriously harm pond fish. It is just too toxic for all fish. Weekly testing of
ammonia levels is recommended
The master kit includes tests for pH, hardness, ammonia and nitrite/nitrate. Each parameter has enough reagents for 70 tests. Note: The ammonia test will give false readings when used with Amquel.
Monitoring weekly the amount of nitrite, a toxic
nitrogen compound, will help prevent the loss of fish. It is just too toxic for
all fish. Regular testing will reveal problems before fish exhibit
symptoms
Carbonate Hardness (KH) levels need to be tested on a
regular basis because they fluctuate over time and can result in unstable pH
levels in pond water.
