PURTEST
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PURTEST from 3G Electric.
What parameters can PURTEST water quality test kits measure?
PURTEST water quality test kits are available for a range of parameters including alkalinity, chlorine, copper, iron, nitrate, nitrite, pH, total hardness, coliform bacteria, and lead. Specific kits target individual parameters or combinations. For example, the kit with MPN 77702 tests for alkalinity, chlorine, copper, iron, nitrate, nitrite, pH, and total hardness, and includes two copper tests and total hardness tests. The bacteria kit (MPN 77700) detects coliform bacteria, and the lead kit (MPN 77701) detects lead at 15 ppb. The total hardness kit (MPN 77777) includes 18 tests. These kits are designed for on-site testing, providing results without laboratory analysis.
What is the detection limit for lead in the PURTEST lead water test kit?
The PURTEST lead water test kit (MPN 77701) has a detection range of 15 ppb (parts per billion) for lead in drinking water. It includes one test for lead. This threshold is consistent with regulatory limits for lead in drinking water in many jurisdictions. The kit is suitable for screening water quality in residential, commercial, or industrial settings. It provides a qualitative or semi-quantitative result indicating whether lead is present at or above 15 ppb. The kit is single-use and includes one test.
How many tests are included in the PURTEST total hardness test kit?
The PURTEST total hardness test kit (MPN 77777) includes 18 tests and 18 pieces, along with result sheets. It is designed for measuring total hardness in water. This kit is used for monitoring water quality in industrial processes such as boiler feed, cooling towers, and HVAC systems. The multiple tests allow for regular monitoring over time. Each test provides a result that can be recorded on the included result sheets. The kit is suitable for on-site testing by maintenance personnel or water treatment operators.
What is the PURTEST solenoid valve compatible with?
The PURTEST solenoid valve (SKU P079, MPN P079) is a plastic, black replacement part designed for automatic faucet sensor systems. It is compatible with the 21VL27 series. The valve has an overall length of 2 inches. It controls water flow in touchless fixtures. This solenoid valve is used to replace a faulty or worn valve in compatible faucet sensor systems. It is made of plastic and is a direct replacement component. The compatibility with the 21VL27 series ensures proper fit and function when used with those systems.
Can PURTEST water quality test kits be used for industrial water testing?
Yes, PURTEST water quality test kits are suitable for industrial water testing. For example, the total hardness test kit (MPN 77777) is specifically used for monitoring water quality in industrial processes such as boiler feed, cooling towers, and HVAC systems. Other kits, such as the bacteria test kit (MPN 77700) and the lead test kit (MPN 77701), can be used for screening drinking water in commercial or industrial facilities. The kits are designed for on-site testing, allowing quick assessment of water conditions. They provide a practical means for facilities to monitor water quality parameters without sending samples to a laboratory.
What is included in the PURTEST bacteria water test kit?
The PURTEST bacteria water test kit (MPN 77700) includes one bacteria test bottle and provides two tests per kit. It is used for detecting coliform bacteria in water samples. The kit is suitable for on-site screening of drinking water. Each kit allows for two separate tests, which can be used to test different water sources or to confirm results. The test bottle contains the necessary reagents or media for detecting coliform bacteria. The kit is designed for single-use tests, and results are typically available after an incubation period. This kit is used in residential, commercial, or industrial settings where microbiological water quality is a concern.
