Affordable Alkalinity Tester for Saltwater Aquariums

Woonsocket, RI (September 14, 2010) HANNA Instruments is pleased to release the new HI 755 Alkalinity Checker HC. The HANNA HI 755 Checker HC bridges the gap between simple chemical test kits and professional instrumentation. Chemical test kits are not very accurate and only give 5 to 10 points resolution while professional instrumentation can cost hundreds of dollars and can be time consuming to calibrate and maintain. The HANNA HI 755 Checker HC is accurate, affordable and sells at $49.50. Hanna instruments knows that alkalinity is one of the most important parameters to measure in salt water aquarium. The alkalinity helps maintain a stable pH and is an important factor for most aquatic life. In seawater, bicarbonate is by far the largest contributor to alkalinity. Alkalinity is measured instead of bicarbonate levels, which are otherwise quite difficult to determine. Bicarbonate is a critical element, as corals must have a ready supply of carbonate and bicarbonate to form their skeletons. Without an adequate level of alkalinity, healthy coral growth is not possible. With the HI 755 alkalinity checker HC you can check you alkalinity fast and accurately. The alkalinity Checker HC features an accuracy of ±5% of reading ±5 ppm and uses the colorimetric method. The contoured style of this Checker HC fits in your palm and pocket perfectly and the large LCD is easy to read. The auto shut-off feature assures the battery life will not be drained if you forget to turn it off. The HI 755 Checker HC is extremely simple to use. After zeroing the instrument with your water sample, add the reagent to the cuvette and shake. Then insert the cuvette into the HI 755 Checker HC and start the timer. Invert the curette when prompted and press the button to read the results. It’s that easy! Get yours today at www.hannachecker.com
