Low carbonate hardness (KH) is a natural consequence of biological processes in aging water and can result in an unstable permanent hardness (pH). If left unchecked, low KH can lead to unstable water quality, and a sudden drop in pH. This can lead to serious illnesses in fish.

Carbonate hardness minerals can also decrease over time due to influx of rainwater, soft tap water and biological processes using these minerals. A KH of approximately 6 dKH is ideal for maintaining a stable pH in most koi and garden ponds.

NT Labs Koi Care KH Buffer Up replenishes these essential minerals to maintain KH and pH values, leading to a safe and stable environment.

NT Labs Koi Care KH Buffer Up is:

• A pure blend of bicarbonate and carbonate minerals to increase and replenish the KH of freshwater.
