Ideal for WASH professionals the Potakit+ provides visual, cost-effective testing of key drinking water quality parameters. Designed for routine water testing the kit enables water supplies to be assessed to ensure they are suitable for longer-term use.

Tests…

  • Chemical tests for ammonia, arsenic, free chlorine, total chlorine, fluoride, nitrate and nitrite
  • Physical tests for turbidity, pH, conductivity, TDS and temperature
  • Microbiological tests for thermotolerant/faecal coliforms and total coliforms

Designed for routine testing in the field, the Wagtech Potakit includes a combination of visual and digital test instruments that offer an affordable yet accurate testing solution.

 

The Potakit is the kit of choice for NGOs and water technicians implementing small-scale rural WASH programmes and for organisations with limited funds but who still wish to conduct an accurate assessment of key drinking water quality parameters in the field.

• Complete physico-chemical analysis – visual testing apparatus for turbidity, ammonia, arsenic, free and total chlorine, fluoride, nitrite and nitrate plus pocket sensors for pH and conductivity

• The Potakit is supplied with consumables and parts sufficient for processing/analysing 200 samples.
