KH Buffer Up

Use regularly Aqua Source KH Buffer Up will increase the pond waters KH stabilising and preventing pH crashes.

What is KH?
KH (dKH) is a measurement of bicarbonates and carbonates in the water and often referred to as Total Alkalinity. Carbonate hardness is the buffering capacity of the water.

How does KH affect pH?
A higher KH level will make your pH much more stable, help prevent pH crashes and also provide health benefits. KH is also vital for biological filtration as it is constantly being consumed by filter bacteria. A level of KH above 5° is recommended.

When to use:
Use before adding chemicals, blanketweed treatments or after heavy rainfall. If pH is too low, add Aqua Source KH Buffer Up until the desired level is reached. A weekly maintenance dose is advised.

Dosage:
Add 100g per 1000 litres directly to the pond until desired KH and pH are achieved.
