KoiMedic Testers,
KoiMedic Salinity Meters, Koi Medic Salt Meters |
 KoiMedic Salt Meters are designed to measure and monitor the delicate salt concentration in your koi pond. The meter is extremely easy to use; simply turn it on and dip into your Koi pond.
Salt can be used in your Koi pond to treat fungal infections and to reduce osmotic stress. It helps to control algae growth and aids in eliminating most parasites.
A salt concentration between 0.3% to 0.5% helps to detoxifying nitrite and to control string algae. The KoiMedic Salt Meter includes complete pond treatment instructions.

Prevention is Better than Cure! |
Common salt, Sodium Chloride
(NaCl)
is commonly used in the health care and maintenance of fishes
especially Koi. Salt is useful in treating parasites.
It will eliminate seven out of nine parasites that are commonly
found in Koi pond.
Most fish have an internal salt concentration of 1.0% or 10 parts-per-thousand
(ppt) which is higher than their water environment. Osmosis
causes water to transfer from the lower salinity of the pond water
into the tissues of the fish. Addition of salt will lower the
osmosis pressure. This reduces the effort of the fish in eliminating
the excess water. The saved energy is then available for
use by the fish’s own immune system to fight diseases. On
the hand, if the salinity of the water environment is close to
the internal tissues of the fish, the osmosis pressure will reverse
and cause the fish to die of dehydration.
Salt concentrations between 0.3% and 0.5%(3 to 5ppt) will upset
the osmotic balance of some parasites i.e. the parasites’ cells
will dehydrate. Salt concentration of 0.3% are effective
at detoxifying nitrite and concentration of 0.25% or higher has
been used to control string algae. Nevertheless, salt can cause
pond plant damage as the concentration increases. Floating
plants (water hyacinth, water lettuce, etc.) are affected at lower
concentrations than most bog plants. |
