Pond KH and GH: how to measure water hardness and correct it Pond KH and GH: how to measure water hardness and correct itWater hardness stabilizes pH and protects fish. Here’s how to measure it, the target values, and how to adjust it.4 min de lecture Should the UV lamp be turned off during a GH or KH treatment of the pond? Should the UV lamp be turned off during a GH or KH treatment of the pond?Raising the GH or KH of a pond generally does not require turning off the UV-C. Bacteria, algaecides, and medications do.
