Measures pH, Carbonate (KH), General Hardness (GH), Nitrite (NO2), Nitrate (NO3) and Chlorine (Cl2):

• pH – the pH value describes the acidity or alkalinity of the water, which is very important for healthy fish. A value between 6.5 and 8.5 is ideal
• KH – the bicarbonate hardness ensures a stable pH value. Values between 3° and 10° dH are generally recommended
• GH – the general hardness has a direct influence on of the health of fish, plants and micro-organisms. A value between 6° and 16° dH is ideal
• NO2 – a nitrite level of nearly zero shows that the filter is working properly and the water is safe for fish
• NO3 – the nitrate content shows how ’fresh’ the water is, and also how likely it is to support algae growth
• Cl2 – provides information about the water’s chlorine content. A value which is too high is harmful for useful bacteria and fish 

For the wellbeing of the fish, it is  recommended to test every 2-3 days in a new aquarium, and once a week in established aquariums.
