Secret KH+ | For 75,000 L

The 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 consumed in the process. Therefore, the KH in a pond will decrease as a result of waste breakdown. When the KH drops below 2 degrees German Hardness, the pH will start to fluctuate. If the KH is completely depleted, the released hydrogen will directly affect the pH. This can happen so quickly that the pH can drop to a deadly value of below pH 5 within a few hours. Most pond fish will not survive this.

It is therefore of great importance to measure the KH and ensure that it never drops more than 1 degree below the KH-value of the tap water. This can be done with sodium bicarbonate or with KH+. Please note that if the tap water has a low KH, the user will need to re-dose after water changes to maintain the KH level. We also recommend a KH-value between 5 and 10.

Dosage:

Secret's KH+ quickly and effectively increases the KH value of pond water and stabilizes the pH value.

Due to the influence of sunlight, plants, and the presence of algae, the pH value in water with low KH can fluctuate throughout the day. To prevent this, we recommend a KH value between 5 & 10 KH.

2 kilograms of Secret's KH plus is suitable to increase the total hardness of 75,000 liters of pond water by 1 point.

Do not use simultaneously with medicines or GH+
