Hach teststrips (chloride - low range)
Hach chloride teststrips are an easy way to check for chloride (a type of salt) in water.
- Collect your water sample using your throw bucket or reacher stick
- Shake out a chloride teststrip and close the bottle
- Dip the strip into your sample up to the 6 line
- The orange strip at the top of the teststrip will turn black when the test is complete. This will take about 3 minutes
- The white line going up the strip will indicate the chloride level of your sample
- Take the reading from the closest line to the white and compare it to the graph on your sample bottle
- Record your results in parts per million (ppm). Note: ppm=mg/L
These teststrips have a range of 30.0 - 600.0 mg/L.
