Koi Medic Salt Tester

The Koi Medic Salte pen provides accurate results and is very easy to use, simply turn on and hold in the pond. Within a couple seconds the LCD displays the Salt concentration measured as a percentage which is acurately measured from .01% to 1%.

Salt concentrations between 0.3% and 0.5%(3 to 5ppt) will upset the osmotic balance of some parasites i.e. the parasites’ cells will dehydrate. Salt concentration of 0.3% are effective at detoxifying nitrite and concentration of 0.25% or higher has been used to control string algae. Nevertheless, Salt can cause pond plant damage as the concentration increases.  Floating plants (water hyacinth, water lettuce, etc.) are affected at lower concentrations than most bog plants.
