Test the activated carbon to verify the content in foats before using it is advisable

Although phosphates have a greater negative impact if present in concentrations greater than 0.05 mg / l a test must be able to detect lower decisament concentrations of these elements. The phosphate test Salifert It detects it, in a few seconds, 0.015 mg / l. This feature makes it reliable and useful rough.

The package is sufficient for approx. 50 measurements

Operating Instructions

a) Pour 10 ml. Water in the container Helping you with the syringe
