- Add one Phenol Red tablet. Cap and shake until dissolved.
- Insert the test tube into the Octa-Slide Comparator. Match the color to determine the pH value. Record the result.
Ujian Kealkalian Keseluruhan
- Fill a clean test tube to the 20 mL mark with the water sample.
- Add one Alkalinity tablet. Cap and shake until dissolved.
- Add one drop at a time of the Acid Demand Reagent (if provided, or follow specific tablet instructions), counting drops, until the color changes from blue to yellow.
- Multiply the number of drops by 10 to get the Total Alkalinity in ppm. Record the result.
Ujian Kekerasan Kalsium
- Fill a clean test tube to the 20 mL mark with the water sample.
- Add one Hardness tablet. Cap and shake until dissolved.
- Add one drop at a time of the Hardness Titrant (if provided, or follow specific tablet instructions), counting drops, until the color changes from red to blue.
- Multiply the number of drops by 10 to get the Calcium Hardness in ppm. Record the result.
Cyanuric Acid Test
