To order individual reagents or test kit components, use the specified code number.

TOTAL HARDNESS TEST PROCEDURE

Fill the test tube (4488) to the desired line with the sample water,
upper line: 1 drop = 10 ppm CaCO3
middle line: 1 drop = 1 gpg CaCO3
lower line: 1 drop = 20 ppm CaCO3
Add 5 drops of *Hardness Reagent #5 (4483).
Swirl to mix.
Add 1 Hardness Reagent #6 Tablet (4484A).
Swirl until tablet has disintegrated. Solution will turn Red if hardness is present. Proceed to next step. If solution is Blue, there is no measurable amount of hardness.
While gently swirling the tube, add Hardness Reagent #7 (4487WT) one drop at a time until the red color changes to blue. Count the number of drops added. Hold bottle vertically.
Multiply the number of drops used in Step 6 as follows:
upper line: each drop equals 10 ppm Hardness as CaCO3
middle line: each drop equals 1 gpg Hardness as CaCO3
lower line: each drop equals 20 ppm Hardness as CaCO

IRON TEST PROCEDURE

Insert the Iron Octa-Slide 2 Bar (4448-01) into the Octa-Slide 2 Viewer (1101).
Rinse test tube (0106) with sample water. Fill to 5 mL line.
Add 5 drops of *Iron Reagent #1 (4450).
Cap and mix
Use the 0.05g spoon (0690) to add one level measure of *Iron Reagent #2 Powder (4451).
Cap and shake until powder dissolves.
Wait 3 minutes
Insert test tube into the OctaSlide 2 Viewer (1101).
Match sample color to a standard. Record results as ppm iron.

pH TEST PROCEDURE

Insert Wide Range pH OctaSlide 2 Bar (3483-01) into the Octa-Slide 2 Viewer (1101)
Fill a test tube (0106) to the 10 mL line with sample water.
Add 8 drops of *Wide Range pH Indicator (2218).
Cap and mix.
Insert test tube into the Octa-Slide 2 Viewer (1101).
Match sample color to a color standard. Record results as pH.

TOTAL SULFIDE TEST PROCEDURE

†Supplied only with Code 3590-03
Note: Collect sample with a minimum of aeration and analyze promptly.

Insert the Sulfide Octa-Slide 2 Bar (4457-01) into the Octa-Slide 2 Viewer (1101)
Fill a test tube (0106) to the 5 mL line with the sample water.
Add 15 drops of *Sulfide Reagent A (4458)
Cap and gently invert to mix.
Add 3 drops of *Sulfide Reagent B (4459). Cap and mix.
Wait 1 minute.
Use the pipet (0354) to add 1.0 mL of Sulfide Reagent C (4460). Cap and mix.
Insert test tube into the OctaSlide 2 Viewer (1101).
Match sample color to a color standard. Record results as ppm Sulfide.

EPA accepted procedure

A known concentration of sulfide in the range of 0.2-20.0 ppm S= may be prepared as a check standard by referring to APHA Standard Methods 4500-S2-D, 17th Ed., 1989. Run this test on the check standard. If the result is incorrect, discard the old reagents and order the reagent refill package.
