Access to clean and safe drinking water is a fundamental necessity, yet ensuring water quality in many rural communities can be a challenge. Field Test Kit (FTK) are changing thislandscape by providing a practical solution for on-site water quality testing and promoting health awareness at the community level.
What is a Field Test Kit?
Field test kits are portable, easy operated devices used to test various parameters of water quality on-site.
Key Features:
FTKs are designed for ease of use, allowing filed workers to perform tests and obtain results quickly. They cover essential parameters:
Iron: Helps direct contamination that affects water color and test.
Fluoride: Monitors levels to ensure they are not too high or too low, protecting dental health.
Chloride: Identifies contamination from various sources, ensuring water safety.
Bacteriological Contamination: Tests for harmful bacteria, preventing disease outbreaks.
Free Residual Chlorine: Checks disinfection levels in piped water systems.
Benefits:
- Immediate Results: FTKs provide instant feedback on water quality, enabling quick action to address contamination.
- Comprehensive Testing: They test for essential parameters like iron, fluoride,chloride,bacteriological contamination and free residual chlorine.
- Empowerment of Field Workers: FTKs enable grassroots workers to effectively monitor and enhance water quality in their communities.
FTKs help field workers provide immediate solutions and education to communities, bridging the gap between advance water testing and on-the-ground water safety efforts.
