LaMotte precision pH

To use a LaMotte Precision pH Test Kit with a freshwater sample, first collect some water in the provided test tube. Then, add the number of drops of pH indicator solution as instructed in the kit. Put the cap on the tube and shake it gently to mix. The water will change colour based on its pH level. Compare the colour of your sample to the colour chart that comes with the kit. The chart shows which pH value matches each colour. This helps you know if your water is acidic, neutral, or basic (alkaline).
