110 pH Testing of Water
pH is short for “Power of Hydrogen”. The balance of positively charged and negatively charged hydrogen ions in water determines pH. Good test for a first time science fair project and this test combines nicely with most other water tests. Water testing only takes a few minutes per sample.
Each water sample is tested for pH.

# 110 pH Testing of Water
Colorimetric test strips. (1 test per strip)
This pH test is very versitile in that it can be used for Drinking Water testing, food processing, environmental applications or in any other water matrix.
pH is short for “Power of Hydrogen”. The balance of positively charged and negatively charged hydrogen ions in drinking water determines pH.
Water that has a low pH is acidic or aggressive and can corrode plumbing resulting in metal ions being present in drinking water and damages fixtures and pipes.
Water that has a high pH is basic and will leave scale in pipes and fixtures.
This test features two test pads both measuring at the same range using different color indicators. This makes color matching easier on the Color Comparator Chart than with other colorimetric tests.
The test reports water pH at the following levels:
2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10, 11, and 12
Results are obtained from this test in 1 minute.
QuickCheck science fair water test kits allow the student scientist to perform semiquantitative tests on water samples at home, school or outdoors. These Science Fair test kits include clean, sterile water sample bags and test strip instructions and color concentration comparator that make each kit very convenient and simple to use.
