The color charts are designed for use with the comparator block. When using the comparator block with the blind water sample, any self-coloring of the water is compensated for. Without using the comparator block, deviations in the reading are therefore to be expected.
This is often due to incorrect use of the test. It is important to shake vigorously for exactly 1 minute. All other necessary steps are described in the instructions for use.

With JBL PROAQUATEST drop tests, you have a laboratory comparator system that compensates for the natural coloration of the water and enables non-chemists to perform accurate and reliable water analysis. To ensure that water testing monitors the health of your fish and provides the greatest possible safety, you will find a customized evaluation for three different applications. Above the different colored measuring points are numbers, three symbols, and a colored band. The symbols represent the following areas of application: Fish = Freshwater Koi = Garden pond Starfish = Saltwater The color band indicates the meaning of the measured value in green (everything OK), yellow (caution) and red (action required). In addition, you will find numbers that indicate the value in mg/l for the respective color field. The first two color strips (freshwater and pond) belong to the upper row of numbers, while seawater belongs to the lower row. Why do the values differ? Due to the high salt concentration in seawater, the color of the reaction is not as intense as in freshwater (including ponds). Consequently, the value is higher than in freshwater for the same color. Why do the recommendations differ? Each habitat reacts differently to certain nutrient concentrations. In garden ponds, for example, constantly changing temperatures and light intensity can make the value more critical than in freshwater, where these factors are constant and necessary additives ensure balance, which are not added to ponds. Therefore, the recommendations are green for one area of application and yellow for another.
JBL PROAQUATEST Cu Copper measures copper that is freely available in the water. If the copper is bound (chelated) because it has been rendered harmless by a water conditioner (e.g. JBL Biotopol), it cannot be detected by the test. These complexes are so stable that they cannot be broken down in the aquarium. They no longer pose a risk to aquarium inhabitants. This is why the test can no longer detect the copper. The compounds are removed during water changes by siphoning off mulm or when cleaning the filter
