Secret KH plus 562,500 liters

Your KH value, also known as carbonate hardness, consists of the amount of carbonates and bicarbonates in the water. These components ensure that the pH value (acidity) is kept sufficiently high. During the conversion of waste products in the filter, hydrogen (H + ) is released. Hydrogen is an acid and can cause the acidity (pH) to drop to a dangerous level.

The KH prevents this drop in acidity. The bi(carbonates) neutralize the released hydrogen. However, these (bi)carbonates are lost in the process. The KH in a pond will therefore drop as a result of the breakdown of waste products. When the KH drops below 2 degrees German Hardness, the pH will start to fluctuate. If the KH is completely used up, the released hydrogen will directly affect the pH. This can happen so quickly that the pH drops to a lethal value of below pH 5 within a few hours. Most pond fish will not survive this.

It is therefore very important that you measure your KH and ensure that it never falls more than 1 degree below the KH value of your tap water. This can be done with sodium bicarbonate or with KH+. Remember that if the KH of the tap water is low, you will have to add more when changing it to keep the KH at the right level. We also recommend a KH value between 5 and 10.

Dosage:

KH+ from Secret quickly and effectively increases the KH value of the pond water and stabilizes the PH value.

15 kilos of Secret's KH plus is suitable for increasing the total hardness of 562,500 litres of pond water by 1 point.

Or increase a pond with a capacity of 100,000 by 5.5 points
