15 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® JUNE 2017 Water Quality Testing Made Affordably Simple Adapted from Information by Industrial Test Systems, Inc. Industrial Test Systems, Inc. (ITS) was established in 1989, in Rock Hill, South Carolina. ITS is a leading American manufacturer of instruments and chemistries designed to test water quality pa- rameters like the Well eXact ® EZ photometer. The Well eXact ® EZ is a safe and simple way to test well water. This unique photome- ter is able to test five important water quality parameters including pH, total iron, nitrate, total alkalinity, and total hardness high. Sim- ply dip one of the patented eXact Strips into the water sample for 20 seconds, discard the strip, and read the results instantaneously. All tests are calibrated using certified reference standards and analytical spectrophotometric meth- ods. The Well eXact ® EZ has been factory calibrated and will stay valid because of its exceptional quality. The company is so confident, it is offering an industry leading two-year warranty. Not only is it easy and accurate, it was also designed to be environmentally friendly. The patented eXact ® Strip Micro Technology uses 60% less water and chemistry than alternative methods. Instead of using a 10-milliliter water sample, eXact® Strip Micro uses a 4-milliliter water sample. Each ITS test strip is manufactured in an environmentally-controlled facility with extensive testing through- out the production process to ensure product integrity and accuracy. These strips are not litmus! These strips have an advanced chemical system incorporated throughout a dense fibrous pad. The pads are then bonded to the plastic strip material using a custom manufacturing process and precision instrumentation. The meter’s built-in sample cell is made of transparent plastic which will last for over 20,000 readings. Studies have shown scratches on the cell will not compromise the accuracy of the results because of the cell’s fixed position. This affordable and portable water-resistant meter is one of several meters the company has de- signed to give fast on-site water chemistry results. You will be amazed at how effortless it is to achieve lab-quality, accurate results within seconds.
