I want to start testing my customers system water during an annual service. I have a kamco tds meter which always runs out of batteries that I bought for testing water hardness. Now I just fit an inline scale reducer with every combi anyway.
But what about for the inhibitor levels. We are Worcester Gold accredited installers so I want to ensure I am doing things by the book and keeping their boilers tip top. they state the water must have a PH of less than 8. This wouldn't tell me if there is sufficient inhibitor or of the suitability of the system water would it?
I know Fernox do some expensive test kits but I think all I need are some cheap test strips? Only thing is I tend to use all different Inhibitors. Mostly F1 or X100 or cheap ones for cheaper jobs.
It would be unfeasable to carry all different kind of test strips or do you just stick to one brand of inhibitor?
Is there a universal test for checking levels of inhibitor no matter what the brand?
Would really appreciate some advice as I'm always aiming to provide the highest level of service.
