Struvite Remover and Scale Remover STSR – Free Lab Testing
At Struvite Removal, we offer free lab testing to help you determine the effectiveness of our Struvite Remover and Scale Remover STSR for your specific scale problems. Our testing process identifies the product-to-scale ratio and spent pH levels, providing valuable insights to optimize your cleaning process.
For the entire procedure and further information, please download this document, or request it from our team.
Why Test Your Scale?
Struvite and Vivianite deposits can vary in color, granularity, hardness, and composition. These differences may impact how our products interact with your specific scale, making testing crucial to ensure optimal performance.
By submitting your scale samples for testing, we can:
- Compare your sample to previously tested deposits.
- Determine if a stronger concentration is required.
- Provide tailored recommendations based on test results.
Sample Submission Requirements
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. To request sample testing, please reach out to our team, or give us a call at 310-715-3070.
Comparative Testing for Optimal Solutions
Our lab testing process includes a comparison of your struvite or scale sample with others we have collected over time. This helps us determine whether a stronger concentration of Struvite Remover is needed based on the scale's composition and the product's effectiveness in breaking it down. To see an example of our lab tests, please visit this page.
Additionally, we conduct solution concentration tests by placing 5 grams of struvite in various concentrations of Struvite Remover—100%, 50%, 30%, 25%, and lower—in a beaker equipped with a magnetic stirrer. This setup simulates real-world recirculation conditions, providing accurate insights into dissolution rates and product performance.
