Rapid Multi-Parameter Water Testing, Right at the Source
The Water Quality Field Test Kit (FTK) is a portable, field-ready solution for rapid preliminary assessment of drinking water quality — right where the sample is collected. Using simple colour-comparison and titration methods, it screens multiple physical and chemical parameters without the need for lab infrastructure, making routine surveillance practical across villages, schools, and remote water sources. Performance has been evaluated and validated by DRDO, CSIR, NRDC and NEERI.
Screens drinking water sources for key physical and chemical parameters at the point of testing.
Supports village and Gram Panchayat-level water monitoring, closer to where water is actually used.
Tests water from wells, borewells, hand pumps, ponds, lakes, and rivers.
Used by schools, institutions, and community organizations for routine water safety screening.
Supports government water-quality programmes, NGOs, and emergency/disaster response monitoring.
