Trans Instruments has specially
designed the Koi Medic 1 tester to
measure the delicate salt concentration in the pond. Measuring in
percentage (%) or parts-per-thousand (ppt). The testers are
accurate and easy to use. All you need to do is turn it on
and dip into the pond water.
Floatable - Even
in the event the tester is dropped into the water, it
will remain afloat so as to enable immediate retrieval without
damaging the electronics.

Common
salt, Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is commonly used in the health
care and maintenance of fish especially Koi. Salt is
useful in treating parasites. It will eliminate seven
out of nine parasites that are commonly found in Koi pond.
Most fish have an internal salt concentration of 1.0% or 10
parts-per-thousand (ppt) which is higher than their water
environment. Osmosis causes water to transfer from the
lower salinity of the pond water into the tissues of the
fish. Addition of salt will lower the osmosis pressure. This
reduces the effort of the fish in eliminating the excess
water. The saved energy is then available for use by
the fish’s own immune system to fight diseases. On
the other hand, if the salinity of the water environment is close
to the internal tissues of the fish, the osmosis pressure
will reverse and cause the fish to die of dehydration.
Salt concentrations between 0.3% and 0.5%(3 to 5ppt) will
upset the osmotic balance of some parasites i.e. the
parasites’ cells will dehydrate. Salt concentration
of 0.3% are effective at detoxifying nitrite and
concentration of 0.25% or higher has been used to control
string algae. Nevertheless, salt can cause pond plant damage
as the concentration increases. Floating plants (water
hyacinth, water lettuce, etc.) are affected at lower
concentrations than most bog plants.

PH & Alkalinity (KH)
Even though a PH level of 7.4 is
the optimum level for Koi fish, it may be better to keep the PH
level just up a bit. The PH can crash rather quickly when your Alkalinity
(KH) begins going lower then 80 ppm. Since Alkalinity (bicarbonate
concentration) is the buffer to help maintain PH, it is important
as well to test KH regularly. You might find it better to keep KH
(Alkalinity) above 100 or 120 ppm. This enables a little more buffer
to help maintain PH. Some pond and Koi keepers maintain higher
levels of Alkalinity to around 180 ppm. You may wonder why
Alkalinity deceases over time. Good bacteria consumes bicarbonates
which slowly decreases the Alkalinity.
Water changes can help introduce
new minerals and often adds Alkalinity. For those that have soft
water, the Alkalinity may be lower then 80 ppm. Adding Arm and
Hammer Baking Soda will increase KH & PH. Add 1/3 of a cup of
Baking Soda per 1000 gallons to raise the KH level 25 ppm. Raising
more then 25 ppm each day may cause stress to KOI. In the event
that you are losing fish due to a PH crash, consider adding more
baking soda to raise the PH. PH crash occurs around a PH of 5.5 or
lower.
