The Drew Marine Potable Water Test Kit-C is a comprehensive solution designed for shipboard personnel to regularly test the drinking water on board, ensuring it meets safety standards for human consumption.

Key Testing Capabilities

• Free & Total Chlorine: Utilizes U.S. EPA-approved DPD colorimetric ampoule tests to measure chlorine levels in the ranges of 0–1 ppm and 1–5 ppm.


• pH & Temperature: Includes a digital pH tester (pHTestr 30) with automatic temperature compensation, ensuring accurate readings for maintaining disinfectant efficacy.


• Total Coliforms & E. coli: Employs Readycult® snap packs for detecting bacterial contamination. After adding the reagent to a 100 mL water sample, the mixture is incubated at 34.5°C to 37°C for 18–24 hours. A color change indicates the presence of coliforms, and a UV lamp is used to confirm E. coli through fluorescence.
