Making a definitive diagnosis as to the presence of iron bacteria in your water well or pipes can be difficult, that is unless you’re using a Biological Activity Reaction (BART) testing kit.

Identical to the Hach product 2432309 – our patented BART tests are affordable, easy to use, and are in stock now.

Conducting a test is easy. Simply collect a water sample from the well in question and pour it into the BART testing vial. Observe the vial for eight days. The IRB BART test will display a positive result when there is foam produced and/or a brown ring develops as a ring around the interior vial of the testing tube.

Depending on how quickly a reaction is observed, this provides you with an indication of the bacterial count within the sample. For example, if a reaction is observed within one day of starting the test, the bacteria count is high with a reading equal to, or greater than, 570,000 CFU/ml (colony forming unit).

A negative test has no brown color, no color, and no clouding within 8 days.

Please Note: One order contains three testing vials
