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.
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

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 are used with both tests.
The prep reagents ensure the highest level of accuracy for these tests.
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.
3) Cap the center chamber and swirl to mix prep reagents.
