Tweezers, 5 Dropping Pipettes, 2 Plastic Bottles, Hand Lens, Pen, and a tube of Lubrication Grease.

 

Physico-Chemical Testing is carried out by using a Pocket pH Meter, and a 3-part Turbidity Tube for measuring over the range 5-500JTU. The Potatest also includes a Colour Comparator (capable of analysing over 20 different parameters) with Colour Discs and Reagents for 250 Tests of Chlorine (Free, Total & Combined). Other tests are available upon request.
