JBL PROAQUATEST LAB – Complete Freshwater Test Case (13 Tests) for Tap Water & Aquariums

Run professional-grade water analyses at home with the JBL PROAQUATEST LAB. Packed in a robust, waterproof case and using a laboratory comparator system, this set covers the 13 key parameters you need to keep freshwater aquariums stable and healthy, plus a CO₂ table calculated from pH and KH.

Which parameters are covered?

• pH (three ranges: 3.0-10; 6.0-7.6; 7.4-9.0)
• KH (carbonate hardness)
• GH (general hardness)
• NH₄/NH₃ (ammonium / ammonia)
• NO₂ (nitrite)
• NO₃ (nitrate)
• PO₄ (phosphate)
• Fe (iron)
• Cu (copper)
• SiO₂ (silicate)
• O₂ (dissolved oxygen)

Includes a CO₂ calculation table derived from your measured pH & KH.

Key features

• Comparator system compensates natural water tint for more reliable color reads.
• Waterproof carry case with child-safe reagent bottles; refill reagents available separately.
• Clear color charts and record sheets for straightforward tracking and action guidance.
• Fast procedures drop-count for KH/GH, timed color reactions for others.

Designed for freshwater aquariums and tap water checks.

What’s included

• 1 test case with 13 tests
• 12 glass vials with caps & 2 plastic cuvettes
• 2 syringes & 3 measuring spoons
• Comparator block
• Thermometer
• Color charts, CO₂ table, pen & analysis/record sheets
• Operating instructions

All organised in a durable, waterproof plastic case.

How to use (quick guide)

1. Fill the vial to the mark with sample water using the syringe.
2. Add the specified drops/powder for the chosen test.
3. Place the sample and blank into the comparator block and wait the indicated time.
4. Match the color to the chart (count drops to endpoint for KH/GH).
5. Log results and consult the included guidance; use pH+KH to read CO₂ from the table.

Tip: If a value exceeds the scale, repeat the test with distilled-water dilution to bring it into range.

Pro tips

• Cycling & changes: Test more often during new tank cycling or after filter/media changes.
• Trend over snapshots: Keep the record sheets, patterns matter more than single readings.
• Storage: Keep reagents cool, upright, and tightly closed; avoid contaminating droppers.
• Expand when needed: Add-on tests available for potassium (K), magnesium (freshwater) and CO₂ direct.
