Pond Testing Products

Our pond testing products include pH and Ammonia test strips. Knowing the pH of your pond is very useful, particularly if your considering using a natural algae treatment or beneficial bacteria. In most cases, it's helpful to have the pH somewhere between 6.5 to 8.5 for most of these products. If you find that you may need to adjust the pH of the water up or down, please visit our Healthy Ponds page for pH adustment products.

Ammonia is also good to keep an eye on if you have fish in your pond. As fish waste builds up, ammonia levels can rise in a pond making it toxic for the fish. Proper filtration along with the use of a beneficial bacteria and added plants can help keep ammonia levels in check.

In either case, when checking the water with the strips, a simple dip in the pond will suffice and you can then check the color of the strip compared to a graph on the side of the package.
