Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AQUAPHOENIX from 3G Electric.
What parameters can AQUAPHOENIX water quality test kits measure?
AQUAPHOENIX kits cover chlorine, quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), total hardness, alkalinity, phosphate, peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, iron, pH, chloride, orthophosphate, sulfite, and calcium hardness. Methods include drop-count titration, test strips, and colorimetric analysis with an Octa-Slide viewer. For example, kit TK6812-Z measures chlorine (0–200 ppm), quats (0–400 ppm), and total hardness by titration. Kit TK9970-Z measures phosphate (0–80 ppm) using an Octa-Slide viewer. Kit BWTK200 includes an Oakton CTS Tester 50P and tests for total hardness, alkalinity, chloride, orthophosphate, and sulfite. Each kit’s specifications list the range, test count, and included components.
How does the drop-count titration method work in AQUAPHOENIX kits?
In drop-count titration kits, a sample of specified volume is treated with reagents, and drops of titrant are added until a color change indicates the endpoint. The number of drops is multiplied by a factor to obtain concentration in ppm. For example, in kit TK4010-Z, each drop equals 5 ppm per 10 mL sample for chlorine. In kit TK3345-Z, each drop equals 5 ppm per 10 mL or 25 ppm per 2 mL for hydrogen peroxide. The factor is printed in the instructions and on the kit. This method requires no meter and provides direct reading. Kits typically include reagents and EndPoint ID Test Instructions. The user must follow the specified sample volume and drop factor for accurate results.
What is included in AQUAPHOENIX test kit TK6812-Z?
Kit TK6812-Z (SKU 410ZC3) is a multi-parameter test kit for chlorine, quats, and total hardness. It includes 0-50-100-200-400 ppm Quat Test Strips for quaternary ammonium compounds. Chlorine is measured by test strips in the range 0–200 ppm. Total hardness is measured by drop-count titration, where drops x 10 = ppm as CaCO3. The kit provides reagents and instructions for these tests. The manufacturer part number is TK6812-Z. This kit is used where multiple parameters need to be monitored with a single kit, such as in sanitation and water treatment applications. The test strip method for quats and chlorine provides semi-quantitative results, while the titration provides quantitative hardness measurement.
Can AQUAPHOENIX kits be used for high-range chlorine measurement?
Yes. Kit TK1123-Z (SKU 410ZE2) measures chlorine by titration with ranges of 1 drop = 50 ppm per 10 mL, 1 drop = 1000 ppm per 0.5 mL, and 1 drop = 0.5% per 0.1 mL. This allows measurement of high chlorine concentrations. For lower ranges, kit TK4010-Z provides 1 drop = 5 ppm per 10 mL. The choice depends on the expected concentration in the sample. High-range kits are used in applications such as shock chlorination or industrial processes where chlorine levels exceed typical potable water ranges. The kit includes reagents and instructions, and the drop-count method requires only a sample and counting drops. No external calibration is needed.
What is the role of 3G Electric in supplying AQUAPHOENIX test kits?
3G Electric is a distributor of AQUAPHOENIX water quality test kits. 3G Electric supplies these kits globally, providing quotation, order processing, and logistics support. The catalog includes multiple SKUs with manufacturer part numbers for cross-referencing. 3G Electric does not manufacture the kits; it makes them available to industrial buyers. Buyers can request quotes for specific SKUs or MPNs, and 3G Electric coordinates delivery to the destination. The kits are consumables, so repeat orders are common. 3G Electric can support volume orders and scheduled deliveries. Technical selection should be based on the parameter, range, and method listed for each kit. 3G Electric’s support is limited to distribution and logistics; it does not provide technical certification or validation of test results.
Which AQUAPHOENIX kit measures peracetic acid and how does it work?
Kit TK7450-Z (SKU 410ZD6) measures peracetic acid by drop-count titration. Each drop equals 0.5 or 1 ppm, depending on the sample volume and procedure. The kit provides 75 tests and includes EndPoint ID Test Instructions. Peracetic acid is used in sanitation and disinfection processes, and this kit allows on-site measurement of concentration. The drop-count method requires adding drops until a color change occurs, then multiplying the drop count by the factor to obtain ppm. The kit includes reagents. No meter is required. This kit is suitable for verifying peracetic acid concentrations in cleaning solutions or process water. The range and factor are specified in the instructions.
