The Fluoride test strip detects Fluoride in steps of 0, 10, 25, 50, and 100ppm. This test strip is used for monitoring fluoride levels in drinking water. Too much fluoride present is harmful to humans and animals. The solution to be tested must be at a pH of 0.5 in order for this test to be accurate. This pH measure can be accomplished using concentrated Hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) to acidify the test solution, and measured with a pH 0-1.5 test strip.
Hydrochloric acid should be available at a local hardware or pool/spa store, as well as at any chemical distributors, such as Fisher Scientific or VWR.
NOTE: The test strip result must be adjusted to compensate for the dilution used during the acidification process.
Suitable for: fresh water samples, including water from taps, wells, springs, boreholes, ponds, as well as rain water
How to Use:
- The solution to be tested is acidified with hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid). The resultant pH must be at or below pH 0.5.
- Dip the test strip into the pH adjusted solution for 1 second.
- Remove and wait 10 seconds before comparing against the color chart.
- The result must be adjusted to compensate for the dilution used during the acidification process.
