The Pilot Stick is primarily used to identify any aesthetic improvements in the water, such as color or noticeable particles/solids. You can quickly visualize any improvement as the water passes through. For bacteria or other contaminants not oxidized out and in solution, a lab water test prior/after is recommended for finding improvements. Examples include silica and tannins, which sometimes cannot be visually inspected for improvement.
You can connect pilot test stick it to a hose bib on-site using a fitting. Alternatively, you can use a feed pump to push water through, utilizing necessary fittings to make it work. There are more than one way to use this. Please review and let us know if you have any other questions.By Matton April 23, 2024
Question:
I am using a RO/DI water system to treat municipal water for cooling a Xenon weathering lamp and humidifying my weathering test chamber but have silica buildup on my glassware (filters), test samples, and stainless steel inner walls of my test chamber. Will a Poly-UF Pilot Test Stick positioned after my RO/DI system reduce/eliminate the silica contamination that is occurring in my weathering system?

Answer:
-
If the RO/DI system isn't removing silica, ultrafiltration won't be effective. For low volume or pilot tests, consider using an anion exchanger after RO treatment. Reach out with your flow rates and water reports, and we'll assist in sizing the appropriate system.By Matton January 24, 2024
