Bug Alert Biological Test Kit
Effective control of microbial contamination through biocide use is only possible when routine monitoring of fungi and bacteria levels are performed. The Bug Alert® test kit is a good “go/no-go” kit that makes routine determinations of fungal and bacteria populations quick and easy.
The Bug Alert® test kit contains flexible plastic strips to which nutrientcontaining filter paper is attached. The kit is complete and ready to use. No special equipment or training is necessary. Test results can be read for Aerobic Bacteria (AB) as early as 24-36 hrs, and for Yeast & Mold (YM) as early as 72 hrs. Test results will yield a rating for Bacteria or Yeast as “negligible, moderate, or heavy” and will prompt the user to take appropriate action regarding the use of a biocide.
It includes materials to conduct 10 complete tests of diesel or gasoline fuel systems. The kit has a room-temperature shelf life of two years from date of manufacture.
Gasoila Water Finding Paste
Quickly and accurately detect water in fuel storage tanks with Gasoila. The mustard yellow paste quickly turns red upon contact with water. It’s effective with gasoline, diesel, or other hydrocarbon products, sulphuric, nitric and hydrochloric acids, ammonia, soap solutions, and other chloride solutions.
Application Instructions:
- Wipe dipstick clean and dry using a clean cotton rag (remove any residual paste from prior dipping operations)
- Apply a thin but opaque film of Gasoila Water Finding Paste over several inches of the bottom end of the dipstick.
- Fully insert dipstick into tank for 10 seconds. Do not leave longer – this may give false results.
- Remove dipstick and examine the paste within 5 seconds.
Reading Results:
- No paste color change: No water present in tank
- Color changes to red extending up from bottom of dipstick and remains red: clear indication of water in tank.
