Instruction Manual
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing a Hanna Product.
Please read the instructions carefully before using the chemical
test kit. It will provide you with the necessary information for
a correct use of the kit.
Remove the chemical test kit from the packing material and
examine it carefully to make sure that no damage has
occurred during shipping. If there is any noticeable damage,
notify your Dealer or the nearest Hanna office immediately.
Each kit is supplied with:
• HI 3886-0 pH 7.5-10.0 Reagent, 1 bottle with
dropper (25 mL);
• Dechlorinating Reagent, 1 bottle with dropper (10
mL), to be used in presence of chlorine above 50
ppm
;
• 1 color comparator cube.
Note:
Any damaged or defective item must be returned in its
original packing materials.

pH represents acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution
and is proportional to the hydrogen-ion concentration of the
solution. Under neutral conditions water is dissociated into
the OH
-
and H
+
ions in equal ratio and hence it has a pH of
7. When bases or acids are added to a water solution they
ionize, increasing the concentration of OH
-
or H
+
, respectively.
Thus solutions with a pH of 1-3 contain strong acids, whereas
those with a pH of 4-6 contain weak acids. Weak bases
result in solutions of pH 8-10 and strong bases in pH of 11-
13.

HI 3886-0 Hanna Reagent reacts in contact with the aqueous
solution changing its color according to the hydrogen-ion
concentration (pH) in the given range.
READ THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE KIT
•
Note:
always shake the HI 3886-0 reagent bottle
before use.
• Fill the color comparator cube
with 5 mL of the sample.
• In case of concentration of chlorine above 50 ppm, add
one drop of the
Dechlorinating Reagent
to the sample.
Replace the cap and mix by inverting the cube several
times.

• Add 5 drops of
HI 3886-0
pH 7.5-10.0 Reagent.
• Replace the cap and mix the
solution by inverting the cube
several times.
• It is better to match the color with a white sheet at about
10 cm behind the color comparator cube.
Note:
To measure pH in the 4.0-6.5 range use the
HI 3880
pH 4.0-6.5 Test Kit.
To measure pH in the 6.0-8.5 range use the
HI 3881
pH 6.0-8.5 Test Kit.
