Base Water Chemistry: Analysis for freshwater ponds and aquaculture
$40.25 / unit
All fields marked with * are mandatory.
The most popular analysis we perform is the base water chemistry analysis. This analysis covers 8 water quality parameters, including pH, hardness, alkalinity, total salinity, total ammonia nitrogen, un-ionized ammonia, nitrite, and chlorides, that are fundamental in supporting fish populations and only requires 16-20 ounces of water for testing. Once we run all 8 tests, current concentrations are compared to acceptable and optimal ranges in a thorough report, along with suggested amendments. This test is especially recommended prior to fish stocking and strongly encouraged before making pond management decisions dealing with aquatic plant management, fertilization applications, parasite or disease management, and pond clearing techniques.
This service is $35.00, plus a $5.25 processing fee.
Please note:
- This packages requires 16-20 ounces of water for testing and results take a minimum of 7 days from the day that sample is received.
- If your water sample is "muddy", containing a lot of suspended silt and clay particles, an additional filtering charge of $15.00 will be invoiced prior to conducting any analysis. This charge is to offset addtional employee labor and filtering costs. If you already know you will incur a filtering charge, please go ahead and add it to your cart HERE. If you are unsure, please see the reference photo below.
