Palintest Alkalinity (Alkavis), Comparator Tablets
250 tests per pack (AK192)
The Palintest Alkavis test is based on a unique colorimetric method and uses a single tablet reagent. The test is simply carried out by adding a tablet to a sample of the water. Under the conditions of the test a distinctive range of colours from yellow, through green, to blue are produced over the alkalinity range 0 - 250 mg/l CaCO3.
The colour produced in the test is indicative of the alkalinity of the water and is measured by comparison against colour standards using a Palintest Comparator block and Disc.
