How to test your pond water's PH level

Feb 10, 2010 01:20 PM
Bottles and test strips for water quality testing.

Patty Moreno shows us how to test your pond's PH, and see if the conditions are right for fish.



• First get a freshwater PH test kit.

• Take the PH indicator solution and put 3 drops into a vial of the pond water.

• Gently shake the vial to get the solution to blend and check the color against the PH chart. This should give you a rough estimate of the PH.

• Next, add 5 drops of the high range indicator to another vial of the pond water to determine the exact PH of the water.

• Many freshwater fish prefer more alkaline water, around 7 PH.

You too can check your pond PH with these simple steps.
