1. Remove cap and contents from PurTest® bottle, rinse bottle, then fill with water to be tested up to the line (50 ml) on the bottle. Do not touch the reaction filter in the cap. The reaction filter contains mercury. Set cap aside and keep it dry so as not to damage reaction filter.
2. Add contents of Arseni-cator 1(tm) (blue capped vial) to water sample.
3. Add contents of Arseni-cator 2(tm) to water sample. IMMEDIATELY, recap the bottle and secure cap tightly. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BREATHE ANY GASES BEING CREATED.
4. VERY GENTLY SWIRL (DO NOT SHAKE) the solution in the bottle 7 times to mix. The reaction filter must NOT get wet, therefore be careful not to cause any water to splash inside the bottle.
5. Set bottle aside at room temperature undisturbed for 30 minutes allowing the reaction filter to absorb any arsenic gases.
6. After 30 minutes, remove cap, pour solution after uncapping in toilet, wash hands thoroughly. Compare color inside cap to chart below with 2 hours of performing test to determine results. Colors will begin to fade after 2 hours. Do not touch reaction filter. FOR BEST INTERPRETATION, COMPARE COLOR ON INSIDE OF CAP TO CHART BELOW IN BRIGHT LIGHT. Verification of test results can done by retesting or using a lab.
Note: If a brown or yellowish-brown color appears on the reaction filter inside the cap, arsenic levels above 50 ppb are detected.
