Know What's in Your Publicly Supplied Tap Water!
Ensure the safety and quality of your tap water with FAC Test Strips, designed to accurately measure residual Free Available Chlorine (FAC) in water supplied by public treatment systems. These easy-to-use strips provide precise readings in the range of 0–25 parts per million (ppm), offering a fast and reliable method to assess chlorine presence in household, commercial, or institutional settings.
Why Test for Free Chlorine?
Free chlorine is a common disinfectant used in municipal water systems to control microbial contaminants. However, when present in your tap water—especially from pipelines that have been stagnant—it can indicate the possible formation of toxic disinfection byproducts such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs), both of which are known to pose health risks over long-term exposure.
Key Features:
-
Accurate detection range: 0–25 ppm Free Chlorine
-
Fast results: Easy color match in under 60 seconds
-
No instrumentation required: Ideal for field or home use
-
Essential for: Schools, healthcare facilities, residential homes, restaurants, and public buildings
-
Highly sensitive: Detects low-level chlorine often found in post-treatment water
Recommended Use:
Use after system flushes, during routine water quality checks, or when water lines have been unused or idle for extended periods. Regular monitoring can help reduce risks associated with chemical byproducts in drinking water.
