Important notes for using the Trace-Colors
•
Before carrying out any water testing always check the salinity and make adjustments
as necessary. If you have made adjustments to the water wait 10 minutes for the water
parameters to stabilize. (e.g. 1 ppt increase in salinity due to evaporation of fresh water will
result in approximate increases of 13ppm Ca and 40ppm Mg)
•
Before testing clean the glass vial and the large syringe by rinsing with the water to be tested.
•
After testing rinse all syringes and vials with RO or distilled water before storing. If vials are
left unwashed a residue can form that will affect the results of future tests. Use a slightly acidic
solution such as citric acid to remove the residue.
•
In order to ensure an accurate drop size always hold reagent bottle vertically above the test
vial, and gently squeeze out each drop. Close all reagents tightly immediately after use.
•
The test reagents are stable up to the date stated on the pack when stored closed between
15 – 25 °C.
•
Store the reagents and color card in the plastic box to prevent damage from prolonged
exposure to light.
