1. Fill the test tube (0970-S) to the 10 mL line with sample water.
2. Add one drop of *Phenolphthalein Indicator, 1% (2246). If
P Alkalinity is present, a red color will develop.
3. Use the plastic pipet with screw cap (0357) to add the *Alkalinity
Titration Reagent (6404), one drop at a time, until the red color
disappears. Swirl after each drop and count the number of drops
added.
P Alkalinity, ppm CaCO3 = 125 x Number of Drops
4. To the sample from Step 3, add one drop of *Methyl Orange
Indicator w/Halidex, 0.1% (2299).
5. Add *Alkalinity Titration Reagent (6404), one drop at a time,
until the solution changes from yellow to pink. Count the drops.
M (Total) Alkalinity =
125 x Number of drops from Steps 3 and 5
CHLO RIDE - LOW RANGE
1. Fill the Chloride test tube (4506) to the 15 ppm line with sample
water.
2. Add 3 drops of *Chloride Reagent 1 (4504). Mix.
3. Use the glass pipet with screw cap (0344) to add *Chloride
Reagent 2 (4505PS), one drop at a time, until the solution changes
from yellow to brown. Count the drops and swirl after each drop.
Chloride, ppm = 15 x Number of Drops
Chloride, gpg = 0.9 x Number of Drops
CHLO RIDE - HIGH RANGE
1. Use the plastic dropping pipet (0352) to add exactly 5 drops of the
sample water to the Chloride test tube. Carefully fill the tube to the
15 ppm line with deionized or chloride free tap water. Mix.
2. Run steps 2 and 3 above.
Chloride, ppm = 900 x Number of Drops
Chloride, gpg = 54 x Number of Drops
