Water analysts often need a precise measurement tool to obtain specific data. These specialty test kits allow the user to measure specific and unique tests with increased sensitivity over a desired test range. Many of these kits use calibrated glassware or special comparators to achieve optimum accuracy. Most kits are designed to provide at least 50 tests.
These kits are ideal for expanding "in-store" water testing capabilities and for reliable troubleshooting on the service route. If you have a unique need for a different test or combination of tests, please contact our Technical Service Department. We supply a variety of products not listed in this catalog which will suit your specific needs.
Test Methods
Dipcell Comparator
The DipCell comparator is simple to use: dip the comparator into the water to get a sample; add reagents, cap, mix, and read.
Direct Reading Titration
An indicator is added to a water sample, which is then titrated using a plastic syringe until an endpoint color change occurs. The syringe shows the result directly in ppm.
Drop Count Titration
An indicator is added to a water sample, which is then titrated dropwise until an endpoint color change occurs. The number of drops used, multiplied by a given factor, provides the ppm result.
Octa-Slide or Octet Comparator
The reacted water sample is compared with eight color standards in a comparator block, one-to-one (Octa-Slide) or four at a time (Octet).
The Sequestering Agent Test Kit (Code 4064)
Designed for the pool professional to measure the concentration (ppm) of active sequestering agent in the water sample from 0 to 20 ppm. To prevent staining from metals on the pool surface a sequestering agent chemical is often recommended. The test kit includes unit-dose, foil packaged TesTabs® tablet reagents for 50 tests and a 60 mL bottle of titrating reagent that is added using a direct reading titrator. The user swirls the test tube, slowly pressing the plunger to titrate until an endpoint color change occurs from green to blue. The testing reagents and equipment are packaged in a rugged carrying case.
The DipCell Color Comparator displays Biguanide concentrations from 0 to 75 ppm, and pH levels from 6.8 to 8.2 for 50 tests. The DipCell, Biguanide and pH 15 mL test reagent bottles, and instructions are packaged in a hanging/free standing plastic clamshell. The Biguanide & pH Test Kits are packed individually or a 12-pack case.
The Dipcell Color Comparator displays Biguanide concentrations from 0 to 75 ppm, and pH levels from 6.8 to 8.2. Biguanide Shock test is done by adding one shock tablet to a 5 mL water sample, then adding titrant dropwise, counting drops until sample water changes from pink to colorless.
The Free Chlorine & pH DipCell Test Kit allows the user to measure Free Chlorine 0.50 to 10 ppm and pH 6.8 to 8.2. The DipCell, 30 Free Chlorine (DPD #1Rapid) TesTabs®, 30 pH TesTabs®, and instructions are packaged in a hanging/free standing plastic clamshell. The Free Chlorine & pH Test Kit is packed individually or a 12-pack case. Free Chlorine & pH Test Kit Refill
The Free Chlorine & pH Testab Kit Refill includes 30 each of the Free Chlorine (DPD#1 Rapid) and pH TesTabs® are blister-carded. There are 12 blister-carded units in a case.
The DPD-FAS titration test kit measures Free and Total Chlorine in 0.2 ppm and 0.5 ppm increments. The distinct color change allows for accurate readings even at very low or high chlorine levels.
The Sodium Chloride Test Kit is an easy-to-use drop count titration kit for salt water pools. The salt content of the pool is measured by counting each drop of titrant added to the sample tube. The kit comes in a sturdy, plastic case with two 30 mL salt titrant bottles, one 15 mL chloride reagent bottle, and one clear sample tube with cap.
The Phosphate Low Range Test Kit measures Phosphate levels from 0 to 1,000 ppb with a laminated color chart. The kit includes unit-dose, foil packaged tablet reagents for 50 tests that are simple to use with a sturdy plastic test tube.
The Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer) test kit measures Cyanuric Acid levels at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80 and 100 ppm. The kit includes 50 Cyanuric Acid visual grade TesTabs® tablets that are added to a test tube. Once the tablet disintegrates then the analyst would look down through the test tube and measure the Cyanuric Acid level by the disappearing dot method.
The Copper test kit is an easy-to-use drop count titration kit to measure the level of Copper in the water with each drop equaling 0.05 ppm. The user would add 5 drops of Copper 1 to a 10 mL test tube of water sample and if Copper is present then a yellow-brown color will appear. The user would then add one drop at a time of Copper 2 to another 10 mL test tube. Once the color changes to an identical color as the first test tube then the user would count each drop added and compare to the look up chart.
The Ozone test kit measures Ozone levels at 0.01, 0.025, 0.05 and 0.10 ppm. The kit includes 20 DPD 1 and DPD 3 instrument grade TesTabs® tablets that are added to a 10 mL test tube. Once the tablets disintegrate then the analyst would match the reacted water sample to the Ozone ColoRuler color chart.
The Low Range Manganese test kit measures Manganese levels at 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 ppm. Once the liquid reagents have been added to a test tube then the analyst would match the reacted water sample to the Manganese Octet color standard comparator. The kit includes an Octet comparator, test tubes along with enough liquid reagents to measure 50+ tests.
The test kit uses a color chart that measures Copper and Iron levels at 0.1, 0.3, 0.6 and 1.0 ppm. The test kit is simple to use with just adding 3 drops of Copper reagent to a 5 mL test tube of water then matching the color reaction to the color chart. The Iron test is measured by adding 5 drops of Iron reagent along with an Iron TesTabs® tablet to a 5 mL test tube of water then match the reacted sample water with the color chart. Included with the kit is an easy to read diagrammed instructions, test tubes, color chart and enough testing reagents to measure 50 tests.
The Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness TesTabs® test kit uses one tablet per test factor which is added to a test tube of water sample to develop a color. Sample water is added performing a back titration until an endpoint color change occurs. The results are read directly from the test tube which measures Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness from 60 to 400 ppm. The kit includes simple to read instructions, 30 TesTabs® tablets, a water sample bottle along with a preprinted test tube with Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness levels.
