Struvite Remover and Scale Remover STSR Free Lab Testing

STSR Sample Testing

Struvite Removal offers free lab testing to test the effectiveness of our Struvite Remover and Scale Remover STSR. 

The goal of the test is to determine the product to scale ratio as well as the spent pH to have as a benchmark for when the product is done working.

Please refer to the bottom of the page to see an example of an actual test that we perform free of charge, and that you can test for yourself. For the entire procedure and further information, please download the document on the bottom right, or request it from our team.

We welcome any and all scale samples to test in our lab. If you are located internationally, we do ask that international shipping be paid. If you would like us to do testing as well, we usually request larger sized pieces of scale (as to see the breakdown) of 5g or larger, and typically fill a Ziploc bag.
