Default "Interpet" Pond Test Kit...HELP!!

I have an Interpet Pond-test kit which tests for PH, Ammonia, Nitrate and
Nitrite levels.

I have the 4 test-tubes, a supply of tablets and even the colour-chart!
(The kit comes in a green box)

One vital important component, which I have misplaced, is the instructions!

Could somebody PLEASE help.

If you can direct me on the internet where I can download this document, I
would be greatful.

If somebody could scan in their instructions, I will be VERY grateful.

Many thanks

Brendan.

We/you need the brand name, and then a search for that brand will possibly
find the instructions. Even a call/email to customer service will probably
get your answer. How about asking/returning to where you got them. I
suspect you just fill the tubes to a line, drop in the tablets and wait for
a period of time- this of course is the unknown. The group or a large
number of sites can tell you how to interpret your readings. Good Luck!

The manufaturer's name is INTERPET
The product is simply labled "POND TEST-Tablet kit to monitor pond health"

I have searched the internet but can only find retailers selling the
product.
It is the second product on this page...
http://www.aquatics-warehouse.co.uk/...ERPET_223.html

All I have found through all my searching is a phone-number. I shall call
them tomorrow.

Surely somebody would be kind enough to scan their instructions for me
hint wink ;-)

I have the tablets, the test tubes and colour-chart.

Many Thanks

Brendan

Do you have the color charts to use when testing? If not then the whole
thing is useless.
From memory I think that you place one tablet in the supplied test tube and
add 5 ml of pond water. Then crush the tablet and shake until the material
is dissolved and the colour developed. Then compar to the appropriate
colour chart.
Hope that helps.

Thanks to Nigel for providing the instructions and to Michael for also
offering.

I now have the instructions and have successfully tested my pond.

Thanks again
