A compact chemical test kit for measuring soil and water pH across a 4.5–9.0 range. The kit supplies laboratory-recognised soil test reagents and enough solution for approximately 200 soil tests and 600 water tests, making it suitable for repeat use by gardeners, landscapers and small labs. For accurate soil results the kit requires distilled or demineralised water; tap water will skew readings. Clear colour-change indicators give rapid, easy-to-read pH estimates without electronic meters.
Since soil pH controls the availability of nutrients to plants, gardeners need accurate information on the pH of their soil and water to ensure it is optimum for the type of plants they grow.
Directions for Use
For soil pH: Collect a representative soil sample, remove debris, and air-dry if very wet. Mix a measured volume of soil with distilled or demineralised water (follow kit’s soil:water ratio). Add the kit reagent, shake or stir, wait the specified development time, then compare the colour to the supplied pH chart.
For water pH: Rinse the test container, fill with the sample water, add the reagent, wait the development time, then compare colour to the chart.
Important: Always use distilled or demineralised water for soil tests; do not substitute tap water. Follow kit instructions for volumes and timing to ensure consistency.
