- Dip a strip in a water sample for 3 seconds, shake it off, wait 20 seconds, then match the colour to the chart.
- Tells you when to add another dose, especially after heavy rain.
- For use with HydraShield 1 litre or HydraShield 5 litre.
Check your HydraShield level in 30 seconds
HydraShield only protects your tank while there's enough of it in the water. Rain dilutes it and it breaks down over time, so test regularly, and always after heavy rain. These strips are made for HydraShield by Bianco and sold in New Zealand by White International.
How to use them
- Take a sample of your tank water.
- Dip a strip into the sample for 3 seconds.
- Take it out, shake off the excess and wait 20 seconds.
- Match the colour to the chart on the pack.
If the colour is below the recommended zone, add a maintenance dose (the dose chart is on the HydraShield page) and test again. Wait 24 hours after a maintenance dose, or 2 hours after a shock dose, before you test.
What the strips don't tell you
A test strip shows the HydraShield level only. It doesn't tell you whether your water is free of bacteria such as E. coli. For that you need a lab test: see our water testing page, or call us on 0800 278 296.
Storage
Keep the strips in a dry, cool place below 30°C, out of direct sunlight.
