Taylor Warewashing Test Kit, P Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Chlorine, Quaternary Ammonium Compound (QAC)

Taylor Warewashing Test Kit, P Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Chlorine, Quaternary Ammonium Compound (QAC)

The Taylor K‑1630 Ware Wash Test Kit provides fast, reliable field testing for the four most critical parameters in dishmachine and ware wash systems: P alkalinity, total hardness, chlorine, and quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC). Designed for route service, foodservice operations, and ware wash compliance programs, this compact kit combines drop‑test titrations and sanitizer test strips in a durable, organized case.

Key features

• Complete ware wash monitoring: Measures P alkalinity, total hardness, chlorine, and QAC in dishmachine and ware wash systems.
• Drop‑test precision: EDTA titration for hardness and phenolphthalein indicator for P alkalinity deliver clear, countable endpoints.
• Fast sanitizer verification: Chlorine and QAC test strips provide rapid confirmation of sanitizer concentration at the ware wash station.
• Rugged field case: Molded plastic case protects reagents and accessories for route work and in‑plant testing.
• Clear instructions: Laminated drop‑test procedures and alkalinity chart mounted inside the lid for quick reference.

Parameters and methods

• P Alkalinity: Phenolphthalein indicator drop test; results expressed as ppm P alkalinity as CaCO₃ (e.g., 1 drop = 50 or 85 ppm depending on procedure).
• Total Hardness: EDTA titration with metal‑interference inhibitors; 1 drop = 1 gpg total hardness as CaCO₃.
• Chlorine: Chlorine test strips for quick sanitizer checks in ware wash systems.
• QAC (Quaternary Ammonium Compound): QAC test strips and reagent system to verify quaternary sanitizer levels.

Typical applications

• Commercial ware wash operations: Ensures proper detergent feed, rinse quality, and sanitizer concentration.
• Foodservice and hospitality: Supports sanitation compliance in kitchens, cafeterias, and institutional dishrooms.
• Chemical route service: Ideal for technicians commissioning, troubleshooting, or auditing ware wash systems.

Kit components

• Reagents: Phenolphthalein indicator, sulfuric acid titrant, hardness reagent, QAC reagent/test strips.
• Test media: Chlorine test strips and QAC test strips in labeled containers.
• Glassware/plastics: Graduated cylinder or sample tube for titrations.
• Instructions: Laminated drop‑test procedures and alkalinity chart mounted inside the case lid.
• Case: Durable blue plastic carrying case with molded wells for each component.
