Silver Test Kit

The Kittiwake silver test kit is a portable system for the rapid analysis of ppb levels of silver in hot and cold water systems. A test range of 10-100 ppb, using a 50ml water sample, makes the kit ideal for all operating ranges.

Water treatment systems that electrolytically generate copper and silver ions for the control of bacteria (including planktonic legionnella) in hot and cold water systems are becoming more and more common. Silver concentration should be a minimum of 20ppb and higher with hard water feed. It is important that installers of ionisation systems take into consideration regulations on maximum allowable copper and silver levels (The Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations), as well as local water quality. Hardness and pH are two important factors that can affect the efficiency of the whole process. Copper ions are also required to complete the synergy.

To perform an analysis, simply add a reagent sachet to 50ml of sample water; filter this through a small membrane and compare the colour of the membrane with the standard colour chart. The test takes just a few minutes to complete, ensuring correct operating conditions. Ideal for checking sentinel outlets on a monthly basis and representative taps on a rotational basis. An ECON Copper Comparator Test Kit is also available to check synergistic levels are correct.
