Testing Procedure
- Collect a fresh water sample in a clean container, ensuring no contamination from piping or fixtures

- Compare the color of your treated sample against the comparator card to determine iron concentration in ppm
- Document results and determine if iron filtration or treatment is required based on your application
Applications
The Watts T10491 test kit is designed for testing municipal, well, and untreated water sources where ferrous iron contamination is suspected. Use this kit to establish baseline water quality before installing iron filters, water softeners, or reverse osmosis systems, as iron levels above 0.3 ppm can foul membranes and damage filtration media. This field test kit is ideal for well water diagnostics, routine system monitoring, and pre-treatment assessments where laboratory testing is impractical or time-sensitive decisions are required.
