Nitrites are salts of nitrous acid which occur naturally or artificially in ground water. They are released in water from Fertilizer runoff water sewage and mineral deposits.High levels of Nitrite are toxic to mammals and other lower forms like marine species. They disturb the oxygen delivering ability ofhemoglobin in the bloodstream.

Also large blooms of Algae can grow due to high Nitrite level leading to hypoxia. Hypoxia dead zones created are deadly to almost all marine species.

Therefore regularly monitoring of Nitrite levels is very essential and needs to be done judiciously in both marine and fresh water.

Nitrites occur in water as an intermediate product in the biological breakdown of organic nitrogen being produced either through the oxidation of ammonia or the reduction of nitrate. The presence of large quantities of nitrites is indicative of waste water pollution. Low range nitrite estimation is useful for drinking water analysis. Nitrite is added to control corrosion in closed cooling systems. We have two kits for nitrite one a very low range especially for drinking and the higher one for waste water. Our AQUASOL AE217 kits are based on colour comparison and are very simple and convenient to use.

The acidity of water is the capacity of water to neutralize base to desired ph. Acidity is caused by weak organic acids and strong mineral acids. It indicates corrosion of water. This AE264 water test is a titration test and is extremely easy and convenient and gives accurate results.

Orthophosphate is a commonly used corrosion inhibitor that is added to finished drinking water. It works by forming a protective coat inside pipes in the distribution systems and in customer homes to prevent lead from leaching into drinking water. The other name is phosphoric acid and it is used to control alkalinity/acidity in foods and beverages. It is a vital parameter for boiler cooling and process water treatment. This AE301 water testing kit is again based on colour comparison in simple and easy steps.

Silica (sio2) is an oxide of silicon and is present in almost all minerals. It is found in surface and well water. Silica is a problem for high pressure boilers as it exhibits enough volatility that high pressure boilers will have silica carry over to the vapour partition. When the steam pressure is reduced in turbines silica will precipitate on the blades as a glassy deposit which reduces efficiency. Measuring silica in water is useful to monitor demineralizer for boiler water treatment. Our AQUASOL AE302 kits are based on colour comparison and are very simple and convenient to use.

Iron is a naturally occurring mineral found in water especially groundwater which has come in contact with iron-containing rock or soil. Insoluble iron can clog valves and strainers and can cause excessive sludge build up in low lying areas of a water system. It also leads to boiler deposits that can cause tube failure. Suspended or dissolved iron coming in the feed water will also deposit on the boiler metal. Checking iron in boiler and cooling water helps to monitor corrosion level in water. AQUASOL AE303 iron test kit gives a clear red colour result which is then compared with the colour chart provided.

pH is the standard measure of how acidic or alkaline a solution is. It is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration in solution. Ph is important because chemical processes take place when water has a certain ph. A ph indicator giving different colors at different ph is a simple and reliable method to read ph for routine monitoring. Our AQUASOL ph water test kit comprises of a universal indicator giving clear colours which match the colour chart perfectly. An extremely easy to use product it finds usage in almost all processes.

Ammonia is present in variable concentrations in many surface and ground water supplies. It is rapidly oxidized by certain bacteria in natural water systems to nitrite and nitrate – a process that requires the presence of dissolved oxygen. Ammonia being a source of nitrogen is also a nutrient for algAE and other forms of plant life and thus contributes to overloading of natural systems and cause pollution. Ammonia is important to be tested in fisheries.Our AQUASOL AE307 ammonia test is based on colour comparison and results obtained are easily discernable.

Nitrates are inorganic salts that occur as a natural or manmade contaminants in drinking water. High nitrate levels indicate the presence of other pollutants such as bacteria or pesticides as these follow the same path as the nitrate into the water supply. Our AE308 nitrate water test kit is based on a colour comparison method. It is a very sensitive one and giving distinct colours which are easily comparable with the chart provided.

pH is the measure of the hydrogen ion concentration in water. It denotes if the water is acidic (7). When pH is 7 it is said to be neutral. Natural water range between pH 5.0 and pH 10.0 while sea water is near pH 8.3. Monitoring of pH becomes an important exercise for the growth and well being of fresh water species this is especially true for a closed water body viz. nbreeding pond pans or aquariums. Fresh water species thrive over a large pH range viz.6.0 9.5.The growth retards below 6.0 and below 4.0 most species are killed.

Our freshwater pH test kit is very minimalistic and easy to use.

Ammonia is one of the many forms of Nitrogen existing in environment. While other Nitrogen forms (other than Ammonia) can affect aquatic life indirectly Ammonia is directly toxic to aquatic life. Ammonia enters the aquatic surrounding through municipal effluent discharge thru nitrogen waste from mammals or also thru natural means like nitrogen fixation or agriculture runoff water. High levels of Ammonia lead to a toxic buildup in internal tissue and blood in marine species leading to potential death. pH and temperature can affect the Ammonia toxicity to aquatic life. The ranges are from 0.05 to 8.0 ppm. Both the above kits are based on color comparison. They consist of a reagent NH1 bottle and a comparator tube along with a colorcomparator. They are extremely easy to use and can be used by anybody at any place.

Nitrates are found in nature and many of our food material. Generally the level of Nitrates is quite low in ground water. In aquatic environments Nitrates may seep in thru fertilizer runoff from cultivated lands municipal industrial and also private sewage disposal systems and waste water refuse dumps and decaying plant debris. High Nitrate levels in Drinking water pose a great health risk to Infants causing Methemoglobinemia Blue Baby Syndrome. The presence of Nitrates in the Aquatic environment does not pose such a problem as Ammonia or Nitrites. Nitrate concentrations of 50 ppm or so are quite safe for fish. But if the levels reach 80 ppm then the problem begins as this high concentration can be toxic.

pH is the measure of the hydrogen ion concentration in water. It denotes if the water is acidic or alkaline . When pH is 7 it is said to be neutral. Natural water range between pH 5.0 and pH 10.0 while sea water is near pH 8.3. pH is an essential factor which affects the growth of any living species. Hence it is always advisable to monitor pH regularly to ensure the well-being of all living species. Most marine animals are different from fresh water species in the sense that they require a smaller pH range to thrive viz. 7.5 8.5. This is due to the fact that at lower pH marine species are not able to maintain the salt balance and not only does the animal cease to reproduce but also die. The range of our pH test kit is 7.4 9.0.

The presence of Nitrates in the Aquatic environment does not pose such a problem as Ammonia or Nitrites. Nitrate concentrations of 50 ppm or so are quite safe for fish. But if the levels reach 80 ppm then the problem begins as this high concentration can be toxic.

Another problem with Nitrates is that Algal blooms happen and these are highly detrimental to the aquatic species. Bacterial and Fungai infections prevail in these conditions and cause the Fish to lose immunity along with their capacity to reproduce thus retarding growth.
