Why doesn’t ProScape work on my mobile?
In order to determine the photometric measuring results accurately ProScan needs a camera with autofocus. This is the only way to determine the results with maximum precision. Not having one could prevent you from downloading the app from the store. Moreover the app requires the Android version 7.0 or higher or iOS 13.0 or higher. It is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, as well as with 5100 Android smartphone and tablet types. If the download in the store doesn’t work, your mobile is probably incompatible with one of the above mentioned points. If there are any problems during use, e.g. with the scanning, please contact our customer service team: www.jbl.de/en/support .

I have lost my colour chart. Can I download the colour chart for the test?
The colour cards are not available for download on the JBL website. The absolutely accurate colour reproduction that is required can only be achieved using a printer which can be re-calibrated before each printout. Most privately used printers are not accurate enough for this. _x000D_ _x000D_ You will find the colour chart bundle as a spare part on the respective product page and in the spare parts shop under: https://www.jbl.de/en/products/detail/8732/jbl-proaquatest-assortiment-color-chart

Why are there no colour charts for GH. KH, Mg /Ca saltwater and CO2 direct?
The tests from the test range: JBL GH test, JBL KH test, JBL calcium test Ca and JBL magnesium test Mg, where the number of drops are counted until the colour changes and the counted value is multiplied by a value: _x000D_ _x000D_ GH = number of drops = general hardness in °dH _x000D_ _x000D_ KH = number of drops = carbonate hardness in °dH _x000D_ _x000D_ CO2 = number of drops * 2 = CO2 in mg/l _x000D_ _x000D_ Magnesium + calcium = number of drops * 120 = amount Ca + Mg in mg/l _x000D_ _x000D_ Calcium = number of drops * 20 = amount Ca in mg/l _x000D_ _x000D_ Magnesium = amount Ca+Mg from magnesium test - amount Ca in mg/l = magnesium in mg/l

Why doesn’t the thermometer stick to the pane?
Please clean the pane thoroughly before you install the thermometer. Algae, biofilms and lime can prevent it from sticking. If the thermometer still doesn’t hold, there may be a problem with the suction cup. Due to a material defect some suction cups have bubble-like excrescences which prevent a correct hold. If you own such a suction cup, please contact our customer service, and provide a photo.

What can I do when the measured value of a water test falls outside the scale?
If one of your measurements reaches the end of the colour chart scale you can multiply the scale by diluting later tests with distilled water (e.g. JBL Dest). _x000D_ _x000D_ Here’s how to do it: dilute the sample with distilled water and carry out the test once more. _x000D_ _x000D_ This works in detail as follows: _x000D_ GH test: Instead of 5 ml use 10 ml aquarium water. Now 1 drop is equivalent to 0.5 dGH. _x000D_ KH test: Instead of 5 ml use 10 ml aquarium water. Now 1 drop is equivalent to 0.5 dGH. _x000D_ _x000D_ Note: when using 10 ml sample water the colour development is weaker with the first drops than with 5 ml sample water. Put the measuring container on a white underlay for a better readability. _x000D_ _x000D_ NH4/NH3 ammonium/ammonia, NO2 nitrite, Fe iron and Cu copper: _x000D_ 2.5 ml sample + 2.5 ml dist. water: result times 2 _x000D_ 1 ml sample + 4 ml dist. water: result times 5 _x000D_ 0.5 ml sample + 4.5 ml dist. water: result times 10 _x000D_ _x000D_ NO3 nitrate, SiO2 silicate, PO4 phosphate sensitive and Mg magnesium freshwater: _x000D_ 5 ml sample + 5 ml dist. water: result x 2 _x000D_ 2 ml sample + 8 ml dist. water: result x 5 _x000D_ 1 ml sample + 9 ml dist. water: result x 10 _x000D_ _x000D_ PO4 phosphate koi high range: _x000D_ 2.5 ml sample + 2.5 ml dist. water: result x 2 _x000D_ 1 ml sample + 4 ml dist. water: result x 5 _x000D_ _x000D_ K potassium: _x000D_ 7.5 ml sample + 7.5 ml dist. water: result x 2 _x000D_ 3 ml sample + 12 ml dist. water: result x 5 _x000D_ 1.5 ml sample + 13.5 ml dist. water: result x 10 _x000D_ _x000D_ K potassium in marine water: _x000D_ 1. Fill 10 ml of sample water with distilled water to 300 ml. _x000D_ 2. Follow the instructions for fresh water. _x000D_ 3. Multiply the test result by a factor of 30._x000D_ _x000D_ CO2 direct, Ca calcium and Mg+Ca magnesium+calcium: not required._x000D_

Why don’t the CO2 bubbles dissolve after reinstallation / cleaning?
After reinstallation the bubbles move only haltingly through the diffuser and sometimes merge into large bubbles. The device needs approx. 48 hours to set up! After that a bio-film will have formed on the surface of the device, allowing the bubbles to rise freely upwards. After the running in time the required bubble count will adapt itself for your aquarium.
