Tannins Water Test

Investigate yellow-brown color, earthy or musty odor, and tannin-related staining.

Tannins are naturally occurring organic compounds that can affect the appearance, taste, and odor of water. This targeted laboratory test helps determine whether tannins are present before treatment is selected.

Best suited for

• Yellowish or tea-colored water
• Earthy, musty, or tangy characteristics
• Staining on fixtures or laundry
• Treatment planning when tannins are suspected
