• Pre-made reagents for ease of use
• Color comparison cube for simple determination
• Complete setup : All required materials are included with the test kit, such as the sample beaker, color comparison cube, and reagent dropper bottles
• High resolution:Readings from 0.0 to 2.5 mg/L NH3-N are determined to 0.5 mg/L resolution

Groundwater normally contains ammonia due to bacterial decay of plants and animals. However, concentrations of ammonia in rivers and drinking water reservoirs may indicate the presence of agricultural runoff or urban pollution. When the concentration of ammonia is high enough, it can alter the smell and taste of water. In industrial applications, high concentrations of ammonia can cause corrosion in pipes. Ammonia is also monitored in fresh water aquariums and fish farming applications because of its toxicity to fish.

Ordering information: Replacement reagents need to be purchased seperatly.
