COOLING WATER TREATMENT – DREWGARD® XTA

Read SDSs before running these tests. Before testing, samples should be cooled to 25°C (77°F).
DREWGARD XTA TEST PROCEDURE (USING OPTISCOPE®-10) WEEKLY TEST – SYSTEM WATER
Note: If the sample is colored or turbid, filter before running the test. If the sample remains cloudy after the first filtering, the sample should again be filtered through the same paper since the filter becomes more retentive on the second filtration.
CALIBRATION: The OPTISCOPE-10 must be calibrated each time before it’s use for DREWGARD XTA concentration determinations. 1 2

NOTE: The use of high quality, distilled makeup water is recommended as the best means to control scale. Makeup tanks should be
tested every week or more often if there is a change in the source or mixture of the water or any upset is suspected. If at all possible, do PARAMETER MAXIMUM LIMIT
not introduce makeup water with Chlorides above 100 ppm or Hardness over 170 ppm, especially if system water is not sufficiently below
