Lamotte 3119-01 Nitrate & Phosphate Test Kit
Tests water for nitrate and phosphate with a 0.2 to 1.0 ppm range and 90 tests per kit
- TypeEnvironmental & Mechanical
- Measures nitrate from 0.2 to 1.0 ppm for precise monitoring
- Detects phosphate in the same 0.2 to 1.0 ppm range for balanced analysis
- Sensitivity of 0.2 ppm ensures low-level detection of both nutrients
- Provides up to 90 tests per kit for extended field use
- Includes handbook for clear, step-by-step testing guidance
Aquarium and Pond Water Testing
The Lamotte 3119-01 kit measures nitrate and phosphate concentrations in fresh or salt water, giving aquarists and pond keepers a clear picture of nutrient levels that drive algae growth. Each kit supplies enough reagent for 90 complete tests with a sensitivity of .2 ppm for both parameters.
Reagents and Colour Comparison
The package includes liquid reagents, comparator tubes and a handbook that guides the user through the colour-matching procedure; no external power, electronics or laboratory equipment are required. Because the test is self-contained it can be used at the water's edge or on a bench, freeing the hobbyist from sending samples to a lab.
Basic Test Strips and Guesswork
This kit replaces informal test strips and visual estimation, which often lack the .2 ppm resolution needed to catch early nutrient spikes. The upgrade is worthwhile when persistent algae blooms or unexplained livestock losses suggest that coarse readings are missing the narrow 0.2 to 1.0 ppm window where problems begin.

Questions about this item
How many tests can I run before the kit is exhausted?
The kit includes reagents for 90 complete tests covering both nitrate and phosphate parameters.
Does the color-comparison method generate any heat or require power during all-day testing sessions?
No, the kit uses a purely visual color-match procedure with no electronic components, so it produces no heat and needs no power source.
What additional equipment must I already have to perform the measurements?
Only clean sample containers and the supplied handbook are required; all reagents and the color comparator are included in the kit.
