INSTALLATION & USE
Testing Procedure
- Collect a water sample in a clean container from the tap or source you wish to test
- Add the provided reagent to the sample according to kit instructions and mix thoroughly to allow color development
- Compare the resulting color against the included comparator card to determine total iron concentration in PPM
- Record results and repeat testing as needed to monitor iron levels over time or at multiple locations
COMPATIBILITY
Application Range
The Watts T10490 is suitable for testing municipal water, well water, and treated water from iron filtration systems. Use this kit to establish baseline iron levels before selecting treatment equipment, verify iron filter performance after installation, or troubleshoot water quality issues. The 0-9 PPM range covers typical residential and light commercial iron concentrations, making it appropriate for pre-treatment assessment and ongoing system maintenance monitoring.
🔧 Test your water multiple times throughout the day if you're on well water—iron levels can fluctuate based on pumping cycles and seasonal changes in groundwater chemistry, so a single test may not represent your maximum iron concentration.
