Test Kits

Clean and safe water is a primary necessity of all living organisms. The quality of water has always been a concern for homeowners, industrial as well as commercial users across the world. This is because water, be it for drinking, domestic chores or industrial usage, may be contaminated with harmful chemicals, bacteria, excess amounts of minerals, and more. While it is a fact that our body needs a certain amount of minerals, we cannot digest heavy metals such as iron, manganese, and zinc in excess amounts. Also, heavy metals make the hard and unfit for usage.

A water hardness test kit is a tool used to measure the amount of dissolved minerals in drinking water. It can be used to determine if your tap or well water contains too much calcium, magnesium, and other metals that could affect its taste and quality.

This is why it is important to get the water tested before consumption or utilization. Employing professional water quality testing services for every single use is not a feasible option. Owing to advanced chemical technologies, it is possible to conduct a water quality test at home. Being a reliable manufacturer and distributor of water filtration systems and equipment, Cannon Water Technology, Inc. offers chemical water test kits to test the quality of water. In our selection, you will find water quality test kits from Cannon Water Technology, and other leading brands like Lovibond.
