Features at-a-glance

• Tests for ten important water quality parameters

  • Classrooms can gain an extensive understanding of water quality through measurement of these ten parameters:
    Acidity, alkalinity, carbon dioxide, dissolved oxygen, hardness, nitrate, phosphate, pH, EC, and TDS.

• Complete testing setup

  • All required materials are included with the test kit, such as the pH tester, sample beaker, indicator and reagent bottles and packets, and glass bottle for dissolved oxygen.

• High resolution

  • All tests provide a high resolution based on the expected range of measurement.

• Replacement reagents available

  • There is no need to buy a new kit when reagents are exhausted. The reagents and buffers for each parameter can be ordered individually.

• Comprehensive educational material

  • The lesson plan and components are tied together by a comprehensive teacher’s manual that includes information about each parameter, classroom activities designed to introduce students to each parameter, and detailed field-testing procedures.
