Q: I used AmGuard to lower the ammonia which was real high. How long before I can use a traditional ammonia test?
A: It actually depends on what type of kit you are using and how good of a biological load you have in your system. For example; If you are using Amguard and have a fairly heavy biological load then most of the Amguard would be consumed along with the ammonia within approximately 24 hours. If you have a weak biological load then it will take longer. Also, if you have a Nessler reagent test kit and your sample water turns brown upon addition of the reagents, then you will know that Amguard is still in the system.
Q: Does the multi test kit give an accurate total ammonia reading when AmGuard is present?
A: Yes our kit will give correct readings even when Amguard™ is used.
