5-in-1 Water Quality Test Strips

Product Name 5-in-1 Water Quality Test Strips
Product Image 5-in-1 water quality test strips
Product Overview The 5-in-1 Water Quality Test Strips are a compact multi-parameter solution for rapid, on-site water screening. One test strip provides five water-quality measurements, helping operators obtain a quick overview without carrying several separate single-parameter test products.

The documented professional reference configuration measures free chlorine, total chlorine, total hardness, total alkalinity and pH on a single strip. Hach specifies ranges of 0–10 mg/L for free and total chlorine, 0–425 mg/L CaCO3 for total hardness, 0–240 mg/L CaCO3 for total alkalinity and pH 6.2–8.4. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Its dip-and-compare format is well suited to routine checks at livestock water points, pig farm water systems, aquaculture facilities, agricultural projects, water-treatment installations and engineering service locations. The compact strip format also makes it practical for technicians who need to move between multiple sampling points.

For SHEWUYOU project supply, the test-strip configuration, packaging quantity and supporting accessories can be arranged according to local water conditions, testing frequency and project requirements.
Key Features

Structural Components A typical 5-in-1 water quality test strip system consists of:
  • Multi-Parameter Test Strip: A narrow strip carrying multiple chemically treated reaction pads.
  • Reactive Test Pads: Individual color-reactive areas corresponding to the five measured water-quality parameters.
  • Reference Color Scale: Printed color references used to interpret the test-pad responses.
  • Protective Storage Container: Helps protect unused strips from environmental exposure during normal storage.
  • Product Label: Identifies the applicable test parameters, range and usage information.
  • Instructions: Provide the specified sampling, dipping, reaction and result-reading procedure.
The professional reference product is supplied as multi-parameter test strips, with the individual reactive areas corresponding to free chlorine, total chlorine, total hardness, total alkalinity and pH. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Working Principle / Structural Principle The test strip uses multiple reagent pads, with each pad designed to react with a specific water-quality parameter. When the strip contacts the water sample, the corresponding reagent areas develop characteristic colors.

After the specified reaction time, the colors on the strip are compared with the printed reference scale. Each color corresponds to a concentration or pH interval within the applicable measurement range. Because several reactive pads are integrated onto one strip, multiple basic water-quality indicators can be checked from the same sample.

For the documented 5-in-1 reference configuration, the strip evaluates free chlorine and total chlorine from 0–10 mg/L, total hardness from 0–425 mg/L as CaCO3, total alkalinity from 0–240 mg/L as CaCO3, and pH from 6.2–8.4. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

This method is intended for rapid field screening and operational monitoring. Where regulatory confirmation or higher analytical accuracy is required, laboratory analysis or calibrated instrumental measurement should be used.

Installation & Maintenance The test strips require no permanent installation, wiring or power supply. Operators can carry the container directly to the sampling location and perform the test on site.

Before use, confirm that the container is properly closed and that the strips are within their specified storage and use period. Avoid unnecessary exposure of unused strips to moisture, excessive heat or contamination.

Collect a representative water sample in a clean container when required by the supplied procedure. Dip the strip into the sample for the specified contact time, remove it without unnecessary shaking, allow the reaction pads to develop and compare the resulting colors with the corresponding reference scale.

Each parameter should be read within the specified reaction interval. Do not interpret colors after the recommended reading time, as color development may continue and affect the visual result.

Keep unused strips dry and return the container to a tightly closed condition immediately after removing a strip. Do not touch the reactive pads with wet or contaminated hands.

For commercial pig farms and multi-site projects, establish consistent sampling locations and testing intervals. Recording results by farm, building, water source and date can help identify changes in routine water conditions.
