Xpress Flex™strips are specifically engineered for use with the Xpress Flex device.
There are four test strips that can be used with Xpress Flex:
Flex 1 (S-1361) – 50 count: tests iron (use with R-9103 prep reagent)
Flex 2 (S-1362) – 50 count: tests salt, borate, and copper
Flex 3 (S-1363) – 100 count: tests free chlorine, total chlorine/total bromine, pH,
total alkalinity, total hardness, and cyanuric acid
Flex 4 (S-1364) –
50 count: tests phosphate (use with R-9112-C prep reagent)
Xpress Flex™gives you the freedom to use only the strips you need. You can run any
combination of strips, depending on the results you are targeting. For example,
iron may not be a common concern in your area, so the Flex 1 strip would mostly be
used to troubleshoot.
Pro Tip: The majority of Xpress Flex tests use only Flex 3 since sanitizer and water
balance are the most desired tests.
Next, let’s review performing a water test with Xpress Flex. This testing process was
designed with you, the tester, in mind.
Xpress Flex testing is performed at retail.sureTREAT.com
Sample prep:
1) Rinse water sample dipping vial with water to be tested.
2) Pour your sample water into the center chamber (fill to the top) of the
water sample dipping vial.
3) If you are performing iron and/or phosphate testing, prep reagents
MUST be used with both tests.The prep reagents ensure the highest
level of accuracy for these tests.
4) Cap the center chamber and swirl to mix prep reagents.
Pro Tip: Add the prep reagents to the empty chambers so that the addition of the
water helps mix the sample.
a. For Iron Prep, add one level scoop of R-9103 to chamber 1.
b. For Phosphate Prep, use pipet to add 0.5 mL of R-9112-C to
chamber 4.
c. Use the syringe to measure out the 5 mL of sample water from
the center chamber and add to the iron chamber. Repeat for
the phosphate chamber.
