Pack Checker TH (Total Hardness)

ADA Pack Checker (TH): A simple and accurate tool for measuring total hardness in your nature aquarium, essential for healthy plant growth.

TH stands for Total Hardness, and it’s a measure of the concentration of dissolved mineral ions in your water, primarily calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+). These minerals enter the water as it passes through rocks and soil. The ADA Pack Checker (TH) provides a simple and accurate method for measuring Total Hardness (TH) in your nature aquarium. Total hardness, primarily a measure of calcium and magnesium ions, plays a crucial role in overall plant and fish health. This convenient Pack Checker empowers you to assess water total hardness, ensuring optimal conditions for vibrant plant growth and a thriving aquatic environment. 

Why Monitor Total Hardness?

• Healthy Plant Growth: While essential in small amounts, excessive water hardness can hinder plant growth by interfering with nutrient uptake and causing mineral buildup on leaves. Maintaining an optimal TH range ensures that your aquatic plants can efficiently absorb nutrients and display vibrant colors.  
• Prevent Nutrient Deficiencies: High levels of calcium and magnesium can inhibit the uptake of essential micronutrients like iron and manganese, leading to deficiencies and affecting plant health. Measuring TH helps you identify potential imbalances and take corrective action to ensure balanced nutrition for your plants.
• Aquascape Stability: Total hardness influences the overall stability of your aquascape. Extreme fluctuations in TH can stress aquatic life and disrupt the delicate balance of the aquatic environment.
• Essential After Hardscape Changes: Introducing new rocks or gravel to your aquarium can significantly alter water hardness. The ADA Pack Checker (TH) allows you to monitor these changes and make necessary adjustments to maintain optimal conditions for your aquatic plants and fish.  

Easy and Accurate Testing:

• Simple Procedure: The ADA Pack Checker (TH) utilizes a simple and intuitive colorimetric method for determining total hardness. Simply fill the provided soft vial with source/aquarium water, and compare the resulting color to the included color chart for an accurate reading.
• Convenient Kit: This kit includes everything you need for total hardness tests:
  • Test Vials: Pre-filled test vials for convenient water sampling.
  • Reagent Solution: A precisely formulated reagent solution that reacts with calcium and magnesium ions to produce a color change.
  • Color Chart: A comprehensive color chart with clear markings for easy comparison and accurate TH determination.
