FIELD WATER-QUALITY TESTING

INDION Easy Test Kits for field water-quality testing

Field kits for checking selected water parameters at plant.

Overview

INDION Easy Test Kits provide a practical way to test selected water-quality parameters at the plant. The kits are designed for routine checks by field operators and laboratory personnel, helping teams identify changes in water quality and take timely corrective action without relying on complex laboratory equipment for every check.

Individual kits, combination kits and refills are available. The tests and measurement range depend on the kit selected.

Process use and chemical role

Where field testing supports operation

Process stage or systemChemical or operational role
Before treatmentCheck selected raw-water parameters to support treatment decisions.
Boilers and cooling towersMonitor the parameters included in the selected kit as part of boiler- or cooling-water control.
Softener, demineraliser and RO systemsUse the appropriate kit to check selected water-quality indicators around the treatment process.
Potable water and wastewaterThe current page lists potable-water testing and wastewater monitoring among the application areas.

Benefits and intended outcomes

  • OUTCOME 1

    Field testing supports routine monitoring of selected water-quality parameters.

  • OUTCOME 2

    Results can help operators identify changes and decide when further checks or corrective action are needed.

  • OUTCOME 3

    Kits do not replace laboratory analysis where the required method, accuracy or parameter is outside the kit specification.

Product range and examples

  • Kit formats

    Individual kits, combination kits and refills are listed on the current page.

  • Parameter coverage

    The supplied sugar-industry leaflet describes a water and juice analysis kit and lists CaO, sulphate, silica, phosphate, total hardness, sulphite and pH. Test ranges and analytes vary by kit; refer to the current kit leaflet for the exact method and measurement range.

Selection and implementation

SYSTEM-SPECIFIC SELECTION

Choose a kit by system, analyte, expected measurement range, method and the operating decision the result must support.

FAQs

Do Easy Test Kits replace laboratory analysis?

They support routine field checks. Use laboratory analysis where the required accuracy, method or parameter is outside the selected kit’s stated range.

Which kit should I choose?

Choose based on the system, parameters to be tested, expected range and operating decision the result will support.

Are refills available?

The current page lists individual kits, combination kits and refills. Confirm the current range with Ion Exchange.
