Test Kit Copper Colour Card (0-20ppm)
The Test Kit Copper Colour Card (0-20ppm) is a colorimetric diagnostic tool designed for rapid, semi-quantitative measurement of free and total copper ions in various water samples. It is primarily used to monitor copper levels to ensure safety, efficiency, and to manage corrosion or algae growth in diverse environments.

Key Uses and Applications
Swimming Pool & Spa Maintenance: Used to monitor copper levels (often maintained between 0.2−0.5 0.2−0.5
ppm) to control algae growth, particularly in ionizer or copper-based sanitation systems.
Drinking & Tap Water Safety: Checks for copper contamination in drinking water, with a maximum permissible level often around 2.0 2.0
ppm, as set by regulatory bodies.
Environmental Monitoring: Tests well water, borehole water, and stream water for copper contamination.
Aquaculture & Fish Farming: Monitors copper concentrations, as levels above 0.1 0.1mg/L can be toxic to some fish, to ensure safe conditions in ponds and tanks.
Industrial Wastewater: Used for testing electroplating wastewater and cooling water for corrosion or high copper concentrations.
Food Analysis: Suitable for analysing food samples after proper treatment.
