Taylor Boiler and Cooling Systems Water Test Kit, Alkalinity, Chloride, Hardness, Orthophosphate

To prevent corrosion and scale in boiler and cooling water systems, it is essential to analyze both the natural impurities of the source water and the treated water's characteristics. The analytes most commonly tested are alkalinity, chloride, hardness, nitrite, pH, silica, and sulfite. Additives such as EDTA and other chelants, molybdenum, phosphates, phosphonates, and polyacrylic-acid-based polymers are also routinely monitored.

Tests for these parameters constitute Taylor's combination kits for water treatment professionals. Kits come complete with all necessary reagents and equipment.
