Instructions and recommendations
In most waters, biocarbonate salts form part of the total water hardness These biocarbonate salts make up the carbonate hardness or KH value Biocarbonates have an important function in your overall chemistry of pond water Acting as a pH buffer, preventing sudden and potentially harmful changes in the acidity or alkalinity of the water If biocarbonates (low KH value) the release of acidic substances from the natural decomposition of organic material can cause a dangerous reduction in the pH of the water The higher the KH the better pH buffering, but very high value can result in the water becoming alkaline Faverable levels of carbonate hardness are between 3 degrees and 10 degrees dH(degrees of German hardness)
