Salifert Silicate Profi-Test

• Silicate occurs in tap water or purified water when the reverse osmosis or de ionizing unit is not functioning properly.


• Silicate can result in diatom bloom and can block some essential trace elements such as vanadium and molybdenum.


• The Salifert Test kit for silicate is a very fast, sensitive and accurate test, with two scales: an ultra low scale which is particularly useful for marine water and a high scale which is suitable for freshwater environments.


• Sufficient for 60 tests.


• Can be used for marine, fresh and garden pond water

Erroneous results might be obtained when the carbonate hardness is higher that 20dKH. This corresponds to an alkalinity of 7meq/l. Normally the carbonate hardness is well below the above mentioned values.
