Koi Medic Digital Salt Tester
Trans Instruments have specially designed The Koi Medic Digital Salt Meter to measure the delicate salt concentration in the pond.
The Koi Medic Digital Salt Meter is extremely easy to use; simply turn it on and dip into your Koi pond. Within a couple of seconds the LCD displays the salt concentration measured in percentage.
The Koi Medic Salt tester measures accurately from 0.01% to 1%.
Salt can be used in your Koi pond to treat fungal infections and to reduce osmotic stress. It helps to control algae growth and aids in eliminating most parasites.
Salt concentrations between 0.3% to 0.5% (3 to 5 ppt) will upset the osmotic balance of some parasites i.e. the parasites' cells will dehydrate. Salt concentration of 0.3% is effective at detoxifying nitrite and concentration of 0.25% or higher can be used to control string algae (Blanketweed).
