HI-772 Marine Alkalinity CheckerThe HI-772 Checker is an accurate electronic tester for measuring alkalinity in saltwater and coral reef aquariums. This practical, palm-sized digital tester requires a 10 ml water sample from your tank to precisely determine the dKH - degrees of calcium hardness - within your aquarium water. Single-button operation and four steps to test makes the HI-772 an effortless option for quick alkalinity testing.This electronic dKH tester covers a comprehensive range of testing for marine aquariums, from 0.0 to 20.0 dKH. A single AAA battery is included with your starter kit for immediate use. An in-built auto-power-off feature saves battery life for fast measurement every time you need to test.Why measure marine alkalinity?Alkalinity is a key parameter for saltwater aquariums as it helps to maintain a stable pH, which is vital for most forms of aquatic life. Corals require an adequate dKH level to support healthy growth, with fluctuations or low levels resulting in impaired growth and precipitation. Regular monitoring of alkalinity allows for quick correction of changes in alkalinity for the health of your marine tank.Using an accurate digital Checker to measure alkalinity in reef and saltwater tanks provides immediate insight into the condition of your water. Prompt, precise information allows you to make changes quickly, preserving the condition of your corals and providing fish with the optimal parameters necessary to thrive.How does the HI-772 work?The HI-772 Checker uses a colourimetric method. In this method, the reagents that are provided with the Checker are introduced to the sample vial to create a measurable reaction. The reaction between the water and reagents causes a yellow to blue to green tint in the sample, which is then read by the Checker, providing a digital readout of the level of alkalinity.The HI-772 includes a reagents starter kit with reagent for 25 tests, for testing alkalinity straight out of the box.Four steps to test 1. ‘Zero’ the Checker with your vial & 10 ml water sample inside 2. Take your vial out and add your reagent 3. Place your vial into your Checker 4. Press the button and read the resultsCheckers vs test stripsMany saltwater and coral reef fish tank owners choose alkalinity test strips to measure the dKH in their water. However, test strips rely on personal perception of results, using a colour chart to determine the results of the reaction. Checkers offer a practical, electronic way to measure alkalinity, with digital results displayed on the screen and no guesswork involved.Where can the HI-772 Alkalinity Checker be used?The HI-772 is specifically designed for use in saltwater and reef aquariums, providing accurate results in dKH.Features:Simple, compact designAccurate to ±0.3 dKH ±5% of readingDedicated to a single parameterIncludes AAA battery for operationPowers off after 10 inactive minutesBuilt-in timer for timed reaction readingsOrder Information:The HI-772 Checker is supplied with 2 cuvettes and caps, a seawater alkalinity reagent starter kit x 25 tests (HI-772-25), a syringe with a tip, 1 x 1.5V AAA battery, and an instruction manual.Order more reagents with code HI-772-25 for the HI-772 Marine Alkalinity Checker.
