Easy-to-Use and Accurate
With only one simple test procedure (using 3 reagents), Arsenic Econo-Quick™ makes it possible for anyone interested in testing for dissolved arsenic to do so without complicated laboratory equipment or the need for specialized training. This kit works equally as well for water testing professional and service technician as it does for the average homeowner or student.
How Arsenic Econo-Quick™ Test Kits Work:
Without getting too technical, inorganic arsenic present in the water sample gets converted to arsine gas by the zinc dust and tartaric acid. Then, the arsine gas reacts with other compounds contained in the test pad suspended at the top of the test vessel (plastic bottle) to create a color change on the test pad.
Testing Based on EPA/ETV Test Verified Chemistry:
The simple chemistry and procedures used by the Arsenic Econo-Quick™ Test Kit are based on the same chemistry used in other versions of the Arsenic Quick™ that have undergone extensive review by experts in the EPA and received the distinguished honor of EPA/ETV Test Verified status.
This test DOES liberate small quantities of gases that could pose health hazards if the testing gets performed in small, closed areas. Although the small amounts of gas generated ought not cause any issues, use safe testing practices by opening windows and performing testing in an area that gets good ventilation.
It always pays to err on the side of caution and safety when performing any type of testing.
