Potable Water Test Kit

Part no. RXSOL-62-6538-001

Also known as: Drinking water test kit

RXSOL POTABLE WATER TEST KIT is a monitoring kit enabling shipboard personnel to regularly test the drinking water onboard to help determine whether it is suitable for drinking. The Convention requires the vessel crew to frequently inspect their potable water system and monitor the quality of drinking water, itself. RXSOL POTABLE WATER TEST KIT  enables shipboard personnel to test the drinking water as part of their inspection procedures and demonstrate they are monitoring water quality.

Application

RXSOL POTABLE WATER TEST KIT is used for testing potable water, whether supplied from shore side or produced onboard. It is recommended that potable water be tested weekly, (or as may be required by the federal or Port Administration) as well as when potable water is taken onboard. Manual reading should be recorded on a chart or log and retained onboard for at least 12 months.

Feature : 

Classified as potable water testing for ships. Portable water testing equipments product. RXSOL cooling water test kit Marine potable water test kit RXSOL potable water test kit RXSOL boiler water test kit Potable water test kit-c Drinking water standards test kit

Procedure

RXSOL POTABLE WATER TEST KIT contains everything needed to monitor the drinking water onboard in accordance with WHO guidelines. The kit measures pH, free and total chlorine, plus total coliforms and E.coli bacteria. Because variation in the pH level can affect chlorination, it is important to monitor and control the pH. Additionally, potable water should be free of bacteria that are harmful to humans. Testing for coliform bacteria determines whether or not harmful bacteria are present. The test is an important safety measure, especially when potable water is loaded in port.

Chlorine testing is done using the DPD  Activator solution is used to determine total chlorine (the sum of free and combined chlorine). Chlorine level is determined using kit  and a visual color comparator . Presence/absence test for simultaneous detection of total coliforms and E.coli is done by using Coliform kit.

It should be noted that the sample must be incubated 18-24 hours at 34.5 °C to 37 °C.
