Aquavitro Carbonate – 1 L
Carbonate hardness (KH) measures the concentration of bicarbonate and carbonate in water. It plays a key role in maintaining stable pH levels and serves as a backup source of CO2 if levels drop too low.
This product is formulated with potassium bicarbonate, which increases both carbonate hardness and potassium content in the water.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Carbonate Hardness (KH) | 2000 meq/L (5600 dKH) |
| Potassium Content | 78,300 mg/L |
| Volume | 1 L |

I used this in my aquarium setup and noticed a steady pH level even after several water changes. The potassium content seems to support fish health well. Easy to mix and effective for maintaining stable conditions.
Adam Powell –
The product works as expected for maintaining KH. I appreciate the high potassium level which helps in water stability. Slightly higher than expected in terms of concentration, but manageable.
