Nitrite is a toxic by-product of pond life and overfeeding. Even low levels of nitrite affect the blood cells' ability to carry oxygen. Excess levels of nitrite will lead to fish death. The amount of nitrite in pond water is an indicator of the biological filter's efficiency and overall water quality. | | | Features: | |
• Reads nitrite levels from 0ppm to 5ppm.
• Includes test solution, test tube with cap, instructions, and color chart.
• Performs 180 tests.

Works and is easy to useMar 16, 2007

You drop a fixed number of drops into a fixed amount of water, as measured in the enclosed test tube up to the given line. The number of drops to use is listed right on the bottle. After a few minutes, you compare the color of the water to the color chart on a card, which gives you your nitrite level. It's plenty easy and effective.
It could be even easier if the chart was on the bottle (no need for that extra card lying around), or if there was a test where you just stuck a gauge in some water and got the value, but I've never seen anything like that that doesn't expire at some point.
