API Pondcare 5-in-1 Pond Test Strips Quick Water Quality Check

API® Pond 5-in-1 Test Strips give you a quick snapshot of your pond's water quality in about 60 seconds. Each strip measures five critical parameters at once: pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, nitrite, and nitrate. Perfect for weekly spot-checks, spring start-up, and troubleshooting cloudy water or sick fish.

Each pack contains 25 test strips, a color comparison chart, and instructions — enough for 6 months of weekly testing.
