FAQs

To use the Hygen pH Test Kit, fill the test tube with a water sample from your system, then add a few drops of pH Indicator. Shake the tube gently to mix the solution, and use the colour chart to determine the pH level of your sample.

The ideal pH range for most hydroponic or aquaponic systems is between 5.5 and 6.5. However, different plants may have specific pH requirements. It is essential to research the ideal pH for the plants you're growing.

To adjust the pH in your system, first, determine the current pH using the test kit. Then, use the Hygen pH Up or pH Down solution as needed. Dilute the solution in water before adding it to your system. For pH Up, use approximately 1 mL per 25 L of water to raise the pH by one unit. For pH Down, use approximately 1 mL per 50 L of water to lower the pH by one unit. Remember to test your system again to ensure the pH is within the desired range.

Yes, Hygen pH Up and pH Down can be used to control the pH in ponds. Dilute the solution in a bucket of pond water before adding it to the pond to avoid shocking fish or plants.

Store the Hygen pH Test Kit and its components in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Make sure to close the lids of the pH Up and pH Down bottles tightly after usage to prevent contamination or evaporation.

When using Hygen pH Up or pH Down, ensure to dilute the solution in water before adding them to your system to avoid harming plants or fish. Additionally, handle the solutions with care and wear protective gloves since concentrated Potassium Hydroxide and Phosphoric Acid can be corrosive.

It is recommended to test the pH in your system at least once a week or more frequently during significant changes in the system (e.g., adding new plants or fish). Adjust the pH as needed to maintain an optimum range for your plants' growth.
