This JBL ProScan set is for keepers of freshwater aquariums and garden ponds who want to check key water parameters without a laboratory-style setup. Each test strip is read with a smartphone camera against a colour chart, which replaces visual comparison and gives the result as a number.
Why it matters
- Seven parameters per kit: total hardness, carbonate hardness, pH, nitrite, nitrate, chlorine and carbon dioxide are covered by the strips and the ProScan app.
- Numeric results with a rating: values are displayed as figures and additionally classified as good, medium or poor, so the reading is easy to act on.
- Nitrite cross-check: the manufacturer recommends confirming any nitrite reading that is not zero with the JBL PROAQUATEST NO2 drop test, because nitrite is toxic to fish from 0.4 mg/l.
- Free app: the ProScan app is downloaded at no cost and handles the colour analysis after the photo is taken.

What it works with
The kit is intended for freshwater tanks and ponds, and it is listed in the aquarium water testing category. Each strip is good for one measurement only, since re-scanning the same strip gives different values as the reaction continues. For reliable readings, strips should be shaken off horizontally rather than vertically, and photographed under even daylight without partial shadows on the colour chart.

Frequently asked questions
The kit measures total hardness, carbonate hardness, pH, nitrite, nitrate, chlorine and carbon dioxide in fresh water. Results are shown as numbers and also rated as good, average or poor.
You need a smartphone with the free ProScan app, which you download before testing. You dip a strip in the water, place it on the colour chart in the app, and scan the chart to get the results.
No, each strip is meant for a single measurement only. The strip keeps reacting after it is removed from the water, so scanning it again gives different values.
If the app shows any nitrite value other than 0, the manufacturer recommends confirming it with the JBL PROAQUATEST NO2 drop test. This matters because nitrite is lethal to fish from 0.4 mg/l.
After removing the strip, shake off the water horizontally and gently, not vertically, so colours do not mix. Photograph the chart in even light, ideally daylight, avoiding shadows and bright spots across it.
