Aquaponics Water Test Calculator

The Aquaponics Water Test Calculator will help you decide what products to add to your aquaponics system to ensure the water is within safe ranges for your fish, regarding ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, pH, GH and KH hardnesses. The products we recommend are safe for use in aquaponics systems with fish. When adding new fish to an aquaponics system it is important that the water quality is within the ranges specified in the tests below, so that your fish are not shocked by any sudden changes.

The aquaponics water calculator is colour coded to match with the most common types of water test kits. Once you have tested your water with a test kit, you can come back to this page and input your results to diagnose problems with your aquaponics system. The calculator below will tell you exactly what steps you need to take in order to fix the water quality problems with your aquaponics system.
