These kits include all the reagents and equipment to measure one parameter in a water system. These test kits can be used in a variety of industries to test water from a variety of different systems. Testing the levels of these different parameters in the water not only help in the prevention of costly damage occurring, it also helps you stay within the guidelines set out by the British Standards Institute concerning water.
Types of Water Test Kit
Drop Test Method
To calculate the concentration of a parameter using this method, you count the number of drops required from a dropper bottle before you see a colour change. Then you do a simple calculation using that number.
Comparator Method
In our kits we are using Palintest’s Contour Comparators as we have found them the easiest and most reliable to use. To calculate the concentration using this method, you add a reagent to a small sample of water, compare the colour change to that which is on the disc and simply read-off the number next to it.
Colorimetric Method
This is similar to a colorimetric method; however instead of comparing the colour using a disc and comparator, you use a colour chart that is in the instruction card/label.
