Copper
Copper occurs naturally in many waters and may also result from corrosion of pipes and fittings. The presence of copper in drinking water can give rise to discolouration or an astringent taste.
Chelated copper compounds are extensively used a algicides in swimming pool water, home aquariums and other waters. Electrolytic devices which generate silver ions are used in the purification of swimming pool water.
The following products are available to test for Copper:
Comparator Kits
Comparator tests use visual standards to assess the colour produced when reagents are added to a sample of water. Tablet reagents are used with these kits for maximum simplicity and convenience.
Complete Soil Kit
The complete soil analysis kit is a comprehensive outfit suitable for both laboratory and field use. This kit contains the new Soil Test 10 photometer, giving excellent accuracy in a field instrument.
Drop Count Kits
Drop count tests are the simplest form of test for many industrial water parameters. Just take a sample of the water, add an indicator tablet or a drop of indicator solution, then add the test reagent drop by drop until a colour change takes place.
