Description
The ADEY Quick Test Corrosion Strip is a purpose-built diagnostic tool for closed-loop hydronic heating systems. This hydronic heating corrosion test strip detects dissolved ferrous iron directly from a small water sample, delivering a clear color-coded result in 30 seconds with no laboratory, no equipment, and no setup required.
Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality standards and classified as non-hazardous and non-toxic, each airtight waterproof canister holds 25 test strips. ADEY corrosion strips are part of the full ADEY Best Practice water treatment protocol and pair directly with ADEY MC1+ corrosion inhibitors when results indicate active iron release.
Built for On-Site Hydronic System Water Testing
The ADEY Quick Test Corrosion Strip measures dissolved iron from 0 to 100 ppm, covering the full diagnostic range from a clean system through severe corrosion conditions. The multi-band color scale on the canister provides clear reference points at every level, making it a true field corrosion test for hydronic systems that any technician can use on the first attempt.
This makes it an essential tool for annual boiler service visits, radiant floor maintenance checks, and system commissioning. If you are planning to buy ADEY corrosion test strips, each canister covers 25 service visits at one test per call.

Why Choose ADEY Quick Test Corrosion Strips
These corrosion test strips give contractors and building owners a fast, reliable answer about system water quality without sending samples to a laboratory or investing in expensive water analysis equipment.
- Detects dissolved iron 0–100 ppm: The earliest measurable signal of active corrosion in hydronic systems
- Results in 30 seconds: Same-visit treatment decisions without waiting on lab results
- No setup or equipment needed: Dip, shake, and read directly from the color scale on the canister
- Airtight waterproof canister: preserves strip reagent accuracy from first use through the last strip
- ISO 9001 quality manufacturing: Consistent performance across every canister
Applications
The ADEY Quick Test Corrosion Strip is used across a wide range of hydronic heating systems:
- Residential boiler systems with cast iron or steel sections
- Condensing boilers with aluminum heat exchangers
- Radiant floor heating systems, especially those using standard oxygen-permeable PEX
- Panel radiator and baseboard hydronic systems
- Light commercial fan coil and air handler systems
- Snow and ice melt systems ahead of each heating season
- New system commissioning to verify clean fill water before startup
- Retrofit upgrades where existing system water quality is unknown
Its simple dip-and-read method makes it equally suitable for annual contractor service calls and monthly facilities maintenance checks in commercial buildings.
How to Use ADEY Quick Test Corrosion Strips
The Quick Test Corrosion Strip by Adey is made for straightforward use at any hydronic system service point. The five-step process requires only the strip canister and a small water sample.
Step 1: Drain a small sample of system water from any bleed point, drain valve, or boiler drain cock into a clean container.
Step 2: Dip the strip in the water for 2–3 seconds. Ensure full immersion of the test pad.
Step 3: Shake off excess liquid. One or two firm shakes removes surplus water without disturbing the reagent.
Step 4: Wait 30 seconds. Do not read the result early; the color reaction requires the full 30 seconds to develop accurately.
Step 5: Compare the pad color to the scale printed on the side of the canister to determine the dissolved iron concentration in ppm.
Record the result, system address, and test date in your service documentation. If the reading is at or above 5 ppm, note the recommended corrective action and schedule follow-up testing after treatment.

What does the ADEY Quick Test Corrosion Strip measure?
The strip measures dissolved ferrous iron (Fe2+) in hydronic heating system water across a range of 0 to 100 ppm. Dissolved iron is the primary early chemical indicator of active metal corrosion inside a closed-loop system.
How long does it take to get a result?
Results are visible within 30 seconds of dipping and shaking the strip. Reading the strip before 30 seconds have elapsed may produce an inaccurate result. The full color reaction requires the complete 30-second development time.
Do I need any tools or equipment to use these strips?
No tools or equipment are required. Drain a small water sample from any system bleed or drain point, dip the strip for 2–3 seconds, shake off excess liquid, wait 30 seconds, and compare the pad color to the scale printed on the canister.
How many strips come in each canister?
Each canister contains 25 test strips stored in an airtight waterproof seal that preserves strip reagent accuracy between uses.
What should I do if the result shows elevated iron levels?
A reading at or above 5 ppm indicates corrosion is active in the system. The recommended response is to dose with ADEY MC1+ corrosion inhibitor and retest after 30 days. Higher readings indicate the need for system flushing with ADEY MC3+ cleaner before inhibitor dosing. Consult a qualified HVAC contractor if readings are consistently elevated.
Are these strips compatible with all hydronic heating systems?
Yes. The ADEY Quick Test Corrosion Strip is compatible with all closed-loop hydronic heating systems regardless of boiler type, piping material, or system size. It is suitable for systems running water only, water-glycol mixtures, and inhibited water. It is not intended for open-circuit domestic hot water or potable water testing.
Are these strips safe to handle?
ADEY classifies the Quick Test Corrosion Strips as non-hazardous and non-toxic. Standard safe-handling applies: avoid contact with eyes and skin, wash hands after use, keep out of reach of children, store in a cool well-ventilated area, and dispose in accordance with local regulations.
What other ADEY water tests work alongside the corrosion strip?
ADEY offers three on-site water test strips. The corrosion strip measures dissolved iron. The ADEY pH Quick Test strip checks for acidity or alkalinity levels that accelerate metal corrosion. The ADEY MC1+ Quick Test strip confirms that inhibitor concentration in the system is adequate. All three tests together provide a complete water chemistry assessment in under three minutes.
