The reason is often an incorrect use of the test. It is important to shake the test vigorously for precisely one minute. All the other important steps can be read in the instructions.

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
With the JBL PROAQUATEST drop tests you have a laboratory comparator system which compensates the inherent colouration of the water and at the same time enables non-chemists to carry out an accurate and safe water analysis. To ensure that water testing monitors the life of your fish and provides the greatest possible safety, you will find an evaluation adaptable to three different applications. _x000D_ _x000D_ Above the different coloured measuring points are numbers, three symbols and a colour band for each. _x000D_ _x000D_ The symbols stand for the following applications: _x000D_ Fish = freshwater _x000D_ Koi = garden pond _x000D_ Starfish = marine water _x000D_ _x000D_ The colour band tells you the meaning of the value determined in green (everything OK), yellow (attention) and red (need for action). In addition you will find numbers that reflect the value in mg/l for the respective colour field. _x000D_ _x000D_ The first two (freshwater and pond) colour bands belong to the upper number row. Marine water belongs to the lower number row. _x000D_ _x000D_ Why do the values differ? _x000D_ Due to the high salt concentration in marine water, the colouring of the reaction is not as intense as in freshwater (which also includes pond). Consequently, the value for the same colouration is greater than in freshwater _x000D_ _x000D_ Why do the recommendations differ? _x000D_ Every habitat reacts differently to certain nutrient concentrations. In the garden pond, for example, constantly changing temperatures and light intensity can jeopardise the value more than in freshwater, where, unlike in the pond, these factors are constant and necessary additives are supplied. That’s why the recommendations are green for one area of application, yet yellow for the other._x000D_ _x000D_
No, a tool is not required and should not be used under any circumstances. The use of a tool can lead to damage. You can mount the pressure reducer on the CO2 cylinder with your hands. Turn only until you feel resistance and then turn about half a turn more. This way the pressure regulator fitting is hand-tight. A short hissing sound will be heard when attaching the fitting to disposable cylinders.
