Test kits/instruments for water quality testing

[taraegan]

Hello all,

I would be interested to know what test kits/equipment people recommend for water quality testing. We currently use the exacta iDIP and are contemplating either purchasing a second one or possibly an alternate test kit. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tara

Hi Tara,
We are using a YSI 9500 photometer kit with Palintest test reagents.
These are locally sourced and you get get reagents for a wide range of different tests.
Not the cheapest unit around by a long stretch, but we've found it to be very robust.

We have a seperate photometer for our chlorine testing when it comes to embryo bleaching.
We use a Hanna instruments high range chlorine unit for this combined with Lamotte Iodine test strips item number 2948-BJ.

Cheers,
Bruce.

Thanks Bruce,

Good to know. I'll look into the pricing and see whether it might be viable.

Cheers
