1.2 With Great Products, Come Great Results
Colorimetric Chemical Test Kits
Quick and easy to use, HANNA colorimetric chemical test kits are
the ideal solution for water analysis of many chemical parameters.
The kits are equipped with a transparent container which has the
color scale right next to the sample being tested. This makes the
color comparison process simple and error free. The reagents are
either liquid or powder depending on the parameter to be
measured.
Test Kits with
Checker disc
HANNA Checker disc test kits use the technology of colorimetric
kits to provide greater accuracy and resolution. The Checker disc
is a color comparison wheel shaded from dark to light in
proportion to the concentration of the chemical parameter being
tested. All the user needs to do is put both the blank and the
reacted cuvets inside the Checker disc. By turning the wheel, the
user can then visually find the concentration that best equals the
reacted sample. This technique enhances resolution and accuracy.
Titration Test Kits
These precise kits provide ease of use without any loss of
resolution and accuracy. To determine the concentration of the
chemical parameter, these kits utilize a titration technique which
consists of counting the number of drops of titrant necessary to
cause a color change in the sample. The end point can be
determined with enhanced accuracy and simplicity.

HI 3850 Ascorbic Acid
Acidity
Acidity can be caused by mineral or organic acids, or by carbon
dioxide as carbonic acid. Acidity of aqueous solutions contributes
to corrosiveness and influences the rate of biological processes.
For these reasons, acidity is monitored in fish farming, soil
testing, environmental testing, treated wastewater discharge and
in lakes and rivers.
The Total Exchangeable Acidity (TEA) measures the total amount
of soil acidifiers (hydrogen, aluminum, iron and manganese) in
meq/100g unit, equivalent to 1000 parts per 100g of soil. A high
value of total exchangeable acidity means a low soil pH level. Soil
with high acidity can damage some crops.
Alkalinity
Testing alkalinity is important in the treatment of drinking water,
wastewater, pools, heating and cooling, food and beverage
cleaning systems and environmental testing. Alkalinity is also
important to measure in agriculture and aquaculture applications.
Ascorbic Acid
Ascorbic Acidvitamin Cis used in the food and beverage
industry as a supplement in fruit juice, and for its flavor and
preservative qualities.
HI 3850 has been specifically designed for analysis of beverages
and can be used in drinks with a high content of color, such as
fruit juices. The kit uses a titration method. Common
interferences in this test include reducing agents present in
the beverage.

Boron
Boron is one of the micronutrients essential for plant growth. It
may be present in natural water or in industrial waste effluents.
Boron, in excess of 2.0 mg/L in irrigation water, is detrimental to
many plants, but some plants may even be affected adversely by
concentrations lower than 1.0 mg/L. Our kit, having an
operational range from 0 to 5 mg/L, with a resolution of 0.2
mg/L, is particularly suitable for this application.
Since the pH level is very important for a correct measurement of
the amount of Boron, the kit is equipped with our Checker
pocket-sized pH meter, for an accurate measurement.
Bromine
Bromine, because it is stable and less volatile than chlorine, is
utilized as a disinfectant in swimming pools, spas and hot tubs.
As with chlorine, excessive quantities of bromine in water can be
dangerous to health and can cause eye irritation.
Daily monitoring of bromine concentration prevents damage to
equipment and contributes to the optimization and efficiency of
the process while providing for increased user safety.
Carbon Dioxide
In nature, lakes and rivers contain carbon dioxide in
concentrations smaller than 10 mg/L (or ppm). However,
stagnant or contaminated water can contain higher
concentrations because of organic decomposition. This creates a
problem for fish farming applications.
Carbon dioxide is added to drinking water during the final phases
of the purification process. In water softening processes, carbon
dioxide must be kept at a certain level in order to prevent
corrosion.

Chloride
Chloride is one of the most common ions
present in water. In drinking water, its
level must be kept low because it can
adversely alter the taste. In other
applications, chloride levels must be
monitored to prevent scaling and
corrosion. In high concentrations, chloride
can even corrode stainless steel and is
detrimental to vegetation.
HI 3898 allows the user to determine high
concentrations of chloride in wastewater,
which can interfere with official COD
analysis methods. This test done in
accordance to the ISO 15705:2002
method, indicates chloride interference
in seconds.
The chloride concentration is considered
too high if greater than 1000 ppm (for
COD test according to ISO directives) or
higher than 2000 ppm (for COD test
according to the USEPA, APHA, AWWA and
WEF methods). If a high concentration of
chloride is found, the sample must
be diluted.
Chlorine
Chlorine is the most commonly used water
disinfectant in applications that vary
from treatment of drinking water and
wastewater, pools and spas sanitization,
to food processing and sterilization.
Chlorine present in water binds with
bacteria, leaving only part of the original
quantity (free chlorine) to continue its
disinfecting action. If the free chlorine
level is improper with respect to the pH,
water will have an unpleasant taste and
odor and the disinfecting potential of
chlorine will be diminished.
Free chlorine reacts with ammonium ions
and organic compounds to form chlorine
compounds with diminished disinfecting
capabilities compared with free chlorine.
Combined chlorine and free chlorine
together result in total chlorine content.
Chromium
Chromium salts are widely used in
industrial processes, galvanic plants,
tanneries and chemical manufacturing
plants. Chromium can therefore be found
in industrial discharges and must be
monitored because of its toxic nature.

Copper
Copper is an important element in the metabolism of plants and
animals and is also used to monitor the bacteriological growth in
potable water tanks. Corrosion of pipes contributes to high
quantities of copper in water.
Cyanide
Cyanide is a pollutant that originates mostly from metallurgic,
galvanic and other industrial processes, such as gold and silver
extraction. Because it is poisonous to the human nervous system,
it is imperative to monitor and control cyanide levels in potable
water. When in contact with acids, HCN (hydrogen cyanide) is
freed as a poisonous gas.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established
that the maximum level of cyanide in water is not to exceed
0.2 mg/L (ppm).
Cyanuric acid
Cyanuric acid is used in swimming pools as a stabilizer to slow
down the decomposition of chlorine. With a correct dose, it can
save up to 80% of normal chlorine consumption during peak
sunny months. Cyanuric acid is also used in chlorinated bleaches
and selective herbicides.
Detergents (anionic)
Detergents are found in water from industrial and public
wastewater discharges. The most commonly used are linear-alkyl-
sulfonates (LAS) and alkylbenzene-sulfonates (ABS). LASs are
biodegradable and quickly destroyed by microorganisms.
The total concentration of LAS/ABS anionic detergents in natural
water should be kept below 0.1 mg/L and in public wastewater
discharge it should be between 1 and 20 mg/L.

Formaldehyde, Glycol, Hardness
Chemical Test Kits
Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is used in many industrial
processes, such as maintenance of reverse
osmosis plants. It is also used as a
preservative and disinfectant.
Each application requires a specific
quantity of formaldehyde, which must be
monitored for process optimization.
Formaldehyde is carcinogenic and
flammable.
Glycol
Glycol is largely used in cooling systems
and as an antifreeze. Its presence in
motor oil indicates a contamination from
the cooling system.
HANNAs HI 3859 can be used for
aqueous, as well as oily solutions, and
determines the presence of glycol.
Hardness
Hardness in water is mainly due to the
presence of Calcium and Magnesium ions.
Calcium and Magnesium also contribute to
the amount of total hardness. Monitoring
and controlling hardness is fundamental
in order to prevent scaling and corrosion.
Water is categorized as very soft (0-70
mg/L), soft (70-150 mg/L), slightly hard
(150-250 mg/L), moderately hard (250-
320 mg/L), hard (320-420 mg/L) and very
hard (420 mg/L and above), according to
the hardness scale. HANNA kits cover all
of these ranges.
HANNA offers the HI 3840-S,
HI 3841-S and HI 3842-S chemical
test kits packed in sachets offering a low
cost alternative.

Hydrazine
Hydrazine is a liquid chemical substance
used in high pressure heating plants
because of its property as an oxygen
inhibitor. It reacts with dissolved oxygen
and has the advantage over sulfite
treatments in that it does not produce
solid waste in the process. Hydrazine is
added to avoid scaling and corrosion and
to control the growth of bacteria. High
concentrations react with ammonia and
result in damage to metals. Hydrazine is
also known to be toxic.
Hydrogen Peroxide
As a disinfectant or a bleaching agent,
hydrogen peroxide finds applications in
water treatment, textile, pulp and paper
industries.
HI 3844 determines hydrogen peroxide
concentrations in water up to 10 mg/L
(ppm) and is unaffected by the presence
of stabilizing substances.
Hydroxide
Hydroxide ions found in natural waters
may indicate artificial contamination.
Hydroxide ions may also be a measure of
the corrosiveness of water on materials.
In copper electrolysis plating, hydroxide
ions react with formaldehyde to reduce
copper.
Hypochlorite
Sodium hypochlorite is used as a
bleaching agent in paper and textile
industries and as a disinfectant in
drinking water and swimming pools.
The most commonly used solution
contains 10-15% chlorine (100-150 g/L)
but it is very volatile and is affected by
temperature, light, pH and heavy metals.

Iodine
Iodine is used as an alternative to chlorine and bromine in
drinking water and swimming pools. Pool water treated with
iodine does not irritate the human eye.
Iron
Iron concentration in natural water is typically below 1 mg/L
(ppm), but the level can be much higher due to industrial
discharges. Water containing iron is not dangerous to health, but
it has a strong taste and can stain.
HANNA test kits allow you to determine the total concentration
of iron in both Fe
+2
and Fe
+3
oxidation states.
Manganese
Manganese is not present in natural waters but it is found in
various salts and minerals, frequently associated with iron
compounds.
Manganese salts are used as fertilizer additives, in ferroalloys (in
steel manufacturing) and in non-ferrous alloys as it improves
corrosion resistance and hardness.
Manganese is not considered to be toxic and it is present as a
trace nutrient, both in food and water.
Nonetheless manganese has been limited in
drinking water since it causes stains to laundry
and alters taste.
Manganese is commonly found in domestic
wastewater and industrial effluents.

Nitrogen, Ammonia
Concentrations of ammonia in rivers and drinking water reservoirs
indicate the presence of agricultural or urban pollution. When the
concentration of ammonia is high, it can alter the smell and taste
of water. In industrial applications, high concentrations of
ammonia can cause corrosion in pipes.
Ammonia is also monitored in aquariums and fish farming
applications because of its toxicity to fish. HANNA kits allow
you to test ammonia in fresh and salt water using the Nessler
method.
Nitrogen, Nitrate
Nitrate is an essential nutrient for plants but must be monitored
in order to maintain proper health. Excessive levels are
detrimental and can even be toxiceffectively "burning"
the plants.
Nitrate can be found in natural surface water, as well as in
underground water. In drinking water, the nitrate level must be
monitored because of its toxic nature. Domestic water supplies
should not contain nitrate in excess of 45 mg/L.
Nitrogen, Nitrite
Nitrite is considered the most prevalent chemical pollutant. It is
produced during ammonia oxidation or it originates from
agricultural, urban and industrial waste. In fresh water
aquaculture and aquariums, nitrite is highly toxic and effectively
suffocates fish by starving the blood of oxygen.
Nitrite should be kept at very low concentrations (below 0.1
mg/L), since it is a carcinogenic and dangerous to humans and
animals. At the same time, in applications such as cooling towers,
it is kept at high concentrations, because of its capacity to
prevent corrosion.

Oxygen, Dissolved
Properly dissolved oxygen levels are essential for aquatic
ecosystems. A dissolved oxygen level of 5 mg/L or greater will
support healthy growth of most fish species. Other applications
include monitoring in wastewater treatment and heating plants.
HANNA HI 3810 test kit uses an adaptation of the Winkler
method to determine dissolved oxygen levels.
Ozone
Ozone is utilized as an oxidizing agent and a germicide. When
employed as a disinfectant in drinking water, ozone oxidizes
organic matter and effectively reduces color and odor impurities.
Ozone is being used more and more as an oxidizing agent because
of its efficiency. As a result of its oxidizing potential, ozone
has the advantage of reducing the time normally required
for sterilization.
Ozone can be dangerous for human health (depending on
concentration and exposure). Sterilizing processes such as those
in swimming pools, bottled water and drinking water normally
have to apply a process of de-ozonization after treatment. Ozone
is also used in reverse-osmosis.
Phenols
Phenols are important starting materials in chemical and
pharmaceutical industries. They are widely used as coloring
agents, indicators and disinfectants. Phenols can be found both
in industrial discharges and in natural waters. The presence of
phenols in water, even in very low concentrations, can cause an
unpleasant odor.

Phosphate
Phosphate is utilized in water treatment,
heating systems and cooling systems as a
corrosion inhibitor. It is also an essential
nutrient in agriculture and horticulture.
High concentrations of phosphate
facilitate the growth of algae, increase
corrosion and can cause environmental
pollution.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus belongs to the primary
macronutrients group. Together with
nitrogen and potassium, it is an essential
element to plant growth and is needed in
large amounts.
Phosphorus is absorbed by plant roots and
stimulates the production of flowers
and fruit.
The HI 38073 test kit measures the
amount of phosphorus in soil, i.e. the
phosphorus actually available to plants.
This kit is supplied complete with the
Mehlich extraction kit, which allows the
user to correctly extract phosphorus from
a soil sample.
pH
The pH value of water can be affected by
an array of dissolved substances and is
often a good indicator of the quality.
In applications where water is chemically
treated, the pH value should be monitored
continuously. The contaminents present in
wastewater precipitate when the water is
neutralized chemically.
Throughout this process, the pH must be
monitored since a solution that is too
acidic or alkaline may inhibit the
precipitation of solids and influence the
efficiency of the process.
HANNA line of chemical test kits covers
the pH range between 3 and 10.
The colorimetric pH kits are also available
with an additional reagent to reduce
chlorine interference. To order these simply
add "/0" to the end of the part number.

Potassium
Potassium is present in the tissues
responsible for the growth and vigor of
plants, in particular, primary and
secondary meristems.
This essential nutrient plays an important
role in how much water is absorbed by the
roots and in the regulation of cellular
activity. In addition, Potassium makes
plants more resistant to disease and
positively effects the color and fragrance
in flowers.
This kit is supplied with the Mehlich
extraction kit, which allows the user to
correctly extract potassium from a soil
sample.
Salinity
Salinity is a measure of the concentration
of total dissolved salts in a sample of
water.
Salinity is ecologically important in that
it influences the type of organism that
can live in the water. Since the optimal
concentration of salinity varies from
species to species, it is crucial to the
health of an ecosystem that this
parameter is monitored.
Applications are found in a variety of
fields, from water in fish farming and
aquariums to food processing and cheese
production.
Salinity is expressed in g/kg or ppt (parts
per thousand), as well as Practical Salinity
Units (psu).

SAR
(Sodium Absorption Ratio)
Sodium is closely monitored and
regulated because of its toxic effects to
soil and crops. High sodium concentrations
disperse the soil's colloidal particles,
rendering the soil hard and resistant to
water penetration.
The build-up of osmotic pressure in soil,
due to high sodium concentration, is
characterized by poor tilth and hindered
water absorption by plant roots. Sodium
absorption ratio (SAR) along with pH are
used to characterize salt-affected areas.
High sodium content can be mitigated by
distribution of gypsum directly on the
soil.
The HANNA test kit determines Sodium
Hazard in irrigation water by calculation
of the SAR in relation to Sodium, Calcium
and Magnesium concentrations.
To quickly determine the conductivity of
irrigation water the kit is supplied with
our DiST 4 Conductivity Tester. The
kit's manual supplies information about
practical solutions to common problems.
Silica
Silicon is most commonly found as Silica
Oxide (SiO
2
) in crystalline form. When it
combines with other oxides and metals it
forms a variety of useful silicates such as
alumina silicates found in clay and clay
borne products.
Silicates are the most abundant minerals
of the Earth's mantle and crust. Silica is
the major constituent of sand beds on
coastal areas and is a significant
constituent in most soils.
Silica is hard, resistant to corrosion and is
only slightly soluble in water. The
solubility and form of Silica in water
depends on the pH and the mineral bed in
contact with the water.
In industry, heating plants and reverse
osmosis processes need to accurately
monitor Silica concentrations in water
because of scale formation.

Exchangeable Sodium and Gypsum
Requirement
Alkaline soils are characterized by a low electrical conductivity
(EC), high exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) and the
presence of carbonate and bicarbonate sodium salts.
Highly alkaline conditions hinder plant growth since it reduces
solubilization of necessary nutrients such as Iron, Copper and
Manganese.
Chlorosis, for instance, is a typical disease affecting leaves due
to Iron and Manganese deficiencies. It is possible to correct soil
alkalinity by adding proper conditioners (generally gypsum) to
reduce Sodium's adverse effects and return the pH to an
acceptable range.
The exact quantity of gypsum needed for the correction can be
calculated with the HANNA kit.
Sulfate
Sulfate is widely present in natural waters. It is non-toxic but has
to be kept below a certain threshold because it adds an
unpleasant taste to the water.
Higher sulfate concentrations are found close to mines and their
run-off waters. Sulfate is also widely used as a nutrient in
agriculture. The HANNAs kit covers an extensive range for
measuring sulfate concentrations.

Sulfite
Sulfite is rarely found in natural waters
because it oxidizes quickly to sulfate,
However, sulfite is commonly used in
industry. In the food sector, sulfite is
used for its preservative properties.
Sulfite is also utilized in water heating
systems as a reducing agent. High
concentrations of sulfite lower the pH of
a solution, hence facilitating corrosion.
Sulfite is also monitored in environmental
analysis as it is toxic to aquatic life. Its
ability to eliminate oxygen from water
disrupts the ecologic equilibrium of
rivers, ponds and lakes.
Zinc
Even though zinc is non-toxic to humans,
concentrations higher than 5 mg/L (ppm)
can give water a bitter, astringent taste.
Zinc can also result in a milky color in
alkaline water and can irritate the human
digestion system in concentrations higher
than 5 mg/L (ppm). Zinc in low quantities
however, is a beneficial and necessary
element for body growth.
Zinc is normally introduced into drinking
water through industrial effluents. In
addition to drinking water, zinc is
measured in surface finishing and water
conditioning.

HI 3897
Olive Oil Acidity Test Kit
Acidity, defined as percent oleic acid, is a parameter that
indicates olive oil freshness. A high acidity value indicates the
oil quality has diminished and is at risk of becoming rancid.
Acidity is used to discriminate an extra virgin olive oil from
all other olive oils. According to the CEE 2568/91 regulation,
olive oil is considered extra virgin when its acidity level is
below 1%. A low acidity value also indicates a natural
extraction process occured soon after olive harvesting.
The HI 3897 kit utilizes a titration method where the end-
point is visually determined when the color changes from
yellow-green to pink.
CHEMICAL PARAMETERS
Olive storage period (between
harvesting and extraction)
within 48 hours 2 to 4 days over 4 days
Acidity (as oleic acid %) 0.3 0.4 0.5
The HI 180 is a compact and lightweight magnetic
stirrer which incorporates electronic controls that allow
the user to regulate the speed with precision. In
addition to speed control, HANNAs Speedsafe system
will assure that the maximum speed is never exceeded.
Now there is an easy, affordable and
accurate way to determine the quality,
classification and freshness of your
Olive Oil.
Acidity (expressed as percent oleic acid) is the most
fundamental measurement of olive oil. It is the primary
indicator of olive oil purity and freshness.
The quality of olive oil is directly related to the
degree of breakdown of the fatty acids in the oil.
As the bound fatty acids break down, free fatty
acids are formed which increase the acidity of
the % oil. Acidity, expressed as oleic acid, is a
measure of the free fatty acid present in the oil,
which is directly related to its purity.
The quality of olive oil can be adversely affected during
maturation or by environmental conditions. Mishandling,
processing and bruising during harvesting can also contribute to
a breakdown of fatty acids and an increase in free acidity.
Improper and/or long term storage can cause olive oil to
breakdown and become rancid. Regular acidity testing is the best
way to ensure and maintain quality and freshness.
Normally, testing acidity is a complicated process requiring the
use of various chemicals in a laboratory environment. HANNA has
simplified this process in an easy to understand test kit that can
be used by almost anyone to produce quick and accurate results.
Studies have shown that the quality of olive oil has a direct
impact on its health benefits. Extra Virgin Olive Oil contains higher
levels of antioxidants, particularly Phenols and vitamin E (because
it is less processed). Antioxidants can help prevent oxidation
damage to body tissue caused by free radicals. Studies have also
shown that the oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol is associated
with the hardening of arteries that can lead to heart disease.
With the HI 3897 test kit, it is possible to easily and accurately
test the quality of olive oil at various stages of processing and
storage to monitor and maintain the highest quality.

Virgin Lampante Olive Oil: + 3.3%. Not fit for human
consumption
"Off flavor and odor", with a maximum acidity, expressed as
Oleic acid, > 3.3g/100g
Sensory Quality of Olive Oil
The sensory analysis of virgin olive oil is based on a panel test,
developed by the International Olive Oil Council. The rating is
awarded on the basis of a scale of points running from 0, which
indicates that the oil has extreme defects to 9, which indicates
that the oil has no defects at all. See the following chart for
sensory ratings of each grade of Olive Oil.
Extra Virgin Oil >6.5
Virgin >5.5
Ordinary Virgin >3.5
Virgin Lampante <3.5
Additional Technical Information:
Olive oil is a complex compound made of fatty acids, vitamins,
volatile components, water soluble components and microscopic
bits of olive. The 3 primary fatty acids (triglycerides) are oleic,
linoleic, and linolenic.
Oleic Acid (18:1) = 55 ~ 85% olive oil composition
Linoleic Acid (18:2) = 3.5 ~ 21.00% olive oil composition
Linolenic Acid (18:3) = 0.0 ~ 1.5% olive oil composition
Oleic acid makes up 55-85% of olive oil. Oleic acid is the most
abundant fatty acid found in nature.
Studies show that high concentrations of oleic acid can lower
blood levels of total and LDL (bad) cholesterol, reducing the long
term risk of heart disease.
Olive Oil Acid Composition
Palmitic Acid (16:0) = 7.5 - 20%
Palmitoleic Acid (16:1) = 0.3 - 3.5%
Stearic Acid (18:0) = 0.5 - 5.0%
Oleic Acid (18:1) = 55.0 - 83.0 %
Linoleic Acid (18:2) = 3.5 - 21.0%
Linolenic Acid (18:3) = 0.0 ~ 1.5%

Easy, Organized Tests
The acid mining industry produces wastewater which can be
acidic or alkaline, depending on the metal type. The discharge
water can also contain metals such as iron. Since the run-off
water will eventually find its way to lakes and rivers, it is
important to test it to make sure it does not pollute the
environment and water reservoirs.
HANNAs HI 3819 combination test kit includes all the necessary
tests for alkalinity, acidity, pH and iron. The reagent bottles are
in easy-to-recognize ascending numbers which allow your tests to
be less time consuming.
Testing procedures are clearly shown in the step-by-step
instruction manual so that anyone can carry out analyses. For pH
measurements, use our pHep electronic tester to get faster and
more accurate results than conventional litmus paper.
The HI 3819 has all the necessary equipment to perform over 100
tests of acidity or alkalinity plus 50 tests of iron.
You can conveniently replace reagents separately as they run out (see

Test 4 crucial soil parameters
In agricultural applications, monitoring the quality of the soil is extremely important for the health and growth of crops. The pH level
is an excellent guide as to which plants may thrive in a particular terrain, as well as indicating which conditioners and fertilizers to
use. HANNA combination test kits allow you to test not only for pH, but for nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium which are all
important for the quality of soil as well.
HI 3895 and HI 3896 are very easy to use: A soil sample is diluted in water and combined with one of the chemical reagents supplied

HI 3823 provides users with the most important test parameters
for aquaculture applications: alkalinity, carbon dioxide, dissolved
oxygen, hardness, pH and salinity.
Each of these parameters plays a critical role in the delicate
balance of the aquatic environment. Alkalinity acts as a stabilizer
for pH. Carbon dioxide must be monitored because of its toxicity
to fish (every species can tolerate different levels of CO
2
). Oxygen
levels affect fish respiration and incorrect concentrations can
slow down their growth rate. Hardness is monitored because it
diminishes the toxicity level of ammonia and pH is measured to
determine the toxicity level of the water. Salinity is important
because of its relation to dissolved oxygen.

Organized for Daily Tests
Swimming pool water requires daily tests
for alkalinity, bromine, chlorine and pH.
Chlorine and bromine, which kill
micro-organisms, are commonly used in
swimming pool water because of their
disinfectant properties.
Alkalinity and pH are monitored because
their concentration in pool water affects
the proper activity of the disinfecting
agents.
Bromine and chlorine tests are
colorimetric (color comparison), while
alkalinity tests are a titration. pH tests
are performed with HANNAs pHep pH
tester. The pHep offers greater accuracy
and a wider range than litmus paper.
HANNAs Quick-check test kits combine
two basic parameters in swimming pool
monitoring. These inexpensive kits are
ideal for performing routine pH and
chlorine testing.
