Manganese is a mineral that naturally occurs in rocks /soil and it is found in iron-bearing waters but is more rare than iron. When manganese is present in water it produces extremely objectionable stains on everything with which it comes in contact and deposits collect in pipelines tap water containing black sediment and turbidity due to precipitated manganese. When fabrics are washed in manganese-bearing water dark brown or black stains are formed due to the oxidation of the manganese. The International Drinking Water Regulations recommend a limit of 0.05 mg/l manganese and industrial purposes the manganese content should not exceed 0.01 to 0.02 mg/l. Therefore monitoring of Manganese is mandatory in drinking water and our Manganese water test is one of its kinds and works on the simple Colour Comparison principle.

Formulations containing molybdate are used as corrosion inhibitors in industrial water treatment. In particular molybdate finds application in closed recirculating systems such as water heating systems and chilled water systems. Since molybdates are widely used in water treatment and industrial processes testing molybdate is becoming increasingly important for effluents and industrial discharges. This AE309 water test kit is a colour comparison one and can give accurate results in time.

Sulphite is not usually present in surface waters. If sulphite is discharged in effluents or from domestic wastewaters it readily oxidizes to sulphate. Sodium sulphite the most common form of sulphite is an excellent reducing agent and is commonly used as an oxygen scavenger to control corrosion. Sulphite concentrations in boiler and process waters must be monitored regularly to protect the systems. Our sulphite test kit works when sulphite in salt form has been added to waters. It is a titration method easy to use and easy to read.

The quality of swimming water can make a major difference on the quality of your swimming experience. Without properly balanced water swimmers may suffer a number of complaints from sore itchy eyes to dry skin and hair. In fact water that is contaminated with biological organisms may even cause more serious side effects and illnesses which is why it is so important to regularly check your pool s water quality. Our pool water test kits are designed to check the pH and chlorine of your pool. To ensure the healthiest most sanitary clearest water quality you should be testing your water every day. Swimming pool test kits provide a convenient and simple package for checking all elements of water quality.

Tannin is a natural organic material that is the by product of nature s fermentation process created as water passes through peaty soil and decaying vegetation. Tannins create a light yellow to dark brown discoloration of the water and cause yellow staining on fabrics fixtures and laundry. Tannin based formulations are used for prevention of scale and corrosion in steam boilers closed cooling systems and steam locomotives. The tannin test kit is a titrimetric one and has reagents for two ranges in the same kit making it portable and user friendly.

Turbidity is a principal physical characteristic of water. It is caused by suspended matter or impurities that interfere with the clarity of the water. These include clay silt finely divided inorganic and organic matter soluble coloured organic compounds and plankton and other microscopic organisms. Turbidity is the measure of relative clarity of a liquid. Clarity is required for drinking water and in manufacturing uses. This AQUASOL water turbidity test kit is simple and adequate. It has been designed for onsite use. It suffices its purpose and helps regular monitoring.

Zinc is introduced into water naturally by erosion of minerals from rocks and soil most zinc is introduced into water by artificial pathways such as by-products of steel production coal-fired power stations or from the burning of waste materials. Zinc is also used in some fertilizers that may leach into groundwater. Zinc is used as a corrosion inhibitor for Cooling water. The zinc water testing system is easy to use and results achieved are fairly accurate.
