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.
