*Simple, one-button operation makes getting your alkalinity results easy.
*Improve your testing routine and upgrade from your standard test kit

Details:
The Saltwater Aquarium Alkalinity Colorimeter (dKH) – Checker® HC provides a simple, accurate, and cost-effective way to measure alkalinity in degrees of carbonate hardness, commonly abbreviated as dKH. Critical to marine environments, alkalinity not only provides the carbonate ion required for calcium carbonate skeletal regeneration of coral reefs, but it also acts as a pH buffer against large changes in acidity. Designed as a more accurate alternative to chemical test kits, the Saltwater Aquarium Alkalinity Colorimeter (dKH) – Checker® HC provides quick, accurate results in a few easy steps.

Saltwater Aquarium Alkalinity Colorimeter (dKH) – Checker® HC is supplied with (2) sample cuvettes with caps, alkalinity reagent starter kit for 25 tests (1 bottle of alkalinity reagent), (1) 1 ml syringe and tip, battery, instructions, and quick start guide.
