The WaterWorks™ Low Range Chromium incorporates the patented eXact® reagent delivery system created by Industrial Test Systems, Inc. which is ideal for technical and non-technical users. By dipping the strip into the vial, the exact amount ofreagent is released into the watercausing a change in color or turbidity. The change is measured by comparing the colored water in the vial to a color chart giving the user fast and accurate results.

Chromium (+6) occurs naturally in the environment from the erosion of natural chromium deposits but is also be produced by industrial waste that enter the water supply. The US EPA set the limit for Total Chromium at 0.1 mg/L (ppm) in 1991 while some US states and the WHO maintain lower limit of 0.05 mg/L (ppm).
