Recommended for iron speciation testing to determine the oxidative state of iron in a drinking water sample. Knowing the form of iron in water can help you choose effective filtration or treatment solutions.

Ferrous iron (soluble iron) dissolves in water, while ferric iron (insoluble iron) precipitates. Water with mostly ferrous iron may appear clear, while ferric iron makes water appear reddish/brown/orange. In the presence of oxygen, chlorine or other oxidizing agents, ferrous iron will convert to ferric iron–which can then lead to staining on fixtures, tubs and other appliances.
