Suitable for: water, including water from taps, wells, springs, boreholes, ponds, as well as rain water
This test uses a very sensitive non-specific indicator that detects many common metals of concern. Accurate results are obtained quickly, making this Metals test kit ideal for water treatment use. Strips are packaged in a plastic container with an easy-to-use, detailed colour chart. This test offers very low detection levels:
ppb = parts per billion
USEPA regulation recommends levels of Lead <15ppb, Mercury <2ppb, Copper <1000ppb and Cadmium <5ppb.
Accurate results are achieved in under three minutes, this product is safe and easy to use since there are no chemicals to mix, an MSDS is not required, and the indicator is noncarcinogenic.
Number of tests: 5
Sensitivity: <10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 400, 1000 µg/L (Co, Cd, Zn, Cu, etc…)
Total Test time: 2 minutes and 30 seconds
If more than one metal is detected, the values are combined. Please note, that whilst this kit will indicate the level of metals which are present in your water sample, it does not indicate what type of metal it is.
