Manufacturer’s of water testing equipment have developed a number of products over the past 25 years to enable quick, simple and accurate field based tests to be performed. Engineer’s, maintenance personnel, chemists and technicians alike can obtain immediate data on water chemistry, essential for efficient plant operation or water conditioning.

Today’s market requirements for such equipment is ever changing and with the emphasis moving more and more towards consolidation of products, fewer parts and lower unit cost Kittiwake has become one of the foremost providers of innovate technical solutions for the industrial Water treatment market.

Although Kittiwake currently offer a comprehensive range of kits and reagents covering all aspects of water quality and analysis the design and sales teams have worked hard on developing and expanding upon all options available. The latest product offering provides two distinct test kit ranges for differing levels of skill, expertise and budgets. The core products will remain and will become part of the ECON & DIGI families of products and test equipment. The DIGI test kits include advanced photometers, colorimeters, meters and titration systems and the ECON test kits include stick meters, drop tests and the brand new ECON Comparator.

The latest exciting development, the ECON Comparator kick started this process and has enabled Kittiwake to reconfigure and realign the whole product offering. Gary Rowland, Kittiwake Sales Manager for Water Testing, states “These are exciting times for water testing. The new comparator and the latest kit offerings are just what the market needed. The new literature, kit design and hardware makes water testing in almost all applications anywhere in the world a simple process for buyers and users alike.“

The comparator is self-contained, portable water analysis system, offering accuracy, durability and compatibility not seen before. The unit encompasses some of the best and some brand new features available to comparator testing, including; Multi-range discs, Mirror system for altering path length, Continuous gradient colour discs, Compensation for coloured samples, Uni-directional cells, suitable for left handed users!! & much more.

This unique design takes the disc/comparator concept to a new level. Thoughtful development of photometer grade sachet and liquid reagents give repeatable and accurate results with the ability to use the same reagents on conventional field equipment; minimizing stock and increasing versatility.

With the addition of the Comparator and the development of the DIGI and ECON ranges Kittiwake are now perfectly placed to support worldwide sales and expanding distribution channels.
