SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Generally, ground and surface water contains no more than
1 mg/L (ppm) iron; but due to mining and industrial
drainage, higher levels of iron have been observed. Iron in
water appears to be more of a nuisance than a hazard.
The presence of iron can stain laundry and give water a
bittersweet taste.
The Hanna Test Kit determines the iron concentration in
water by conversion of the ferrous (Fe
) state. The test is
2+
fast, easy and safe. The color cube makes it simple to obtain
the iron level in water.

CHEMICAL REACTION
Iron can exist as ferrous (Fe
) or ferric (Fe
) ions. The
2+
3+
Hanna Test Kit determines total iron levels in water via a
colorimetric method. First all ferric ions are reduced by
sodium sulfite to ferrous ions. Phenanthroline complexes with
ferrous ion to form an orange colored solution. The color
intensity of the solution determines the iron concentration.

• Remove the cap from the plastic vessel. Rinse the plastic
vessel with water sample, fill it to 10 mL mark.
• Add 1 packet of reagent HI 3834-0.
• Replace the cap and mix solution until solids dissolve.
• Remove the cap and transfer the solution into the color
comparator cube. Let set for 4 minutes.
• Determine which color matches the solution in the cube
and record the result as mg/L (ppm) iron.
