WATER TEST KIT 10 pcs

Function and technical context

The water test kit is an essential diagnostic tool for checking the presence of water or moisture in a boat's engine oil, which may indicate failures in head gaskets, internal seals or heat exchangers. Detecting aqueous contamination in the lubricant early is critical to preventing catastrophic damage to the engine block, bearings and internal components. This type of kit uses rapid detection reagents that allow the naval mechanic or owner to perform an on-site check without the need to send samples to a laboratory. Each kit contains 10 units of use, making it ideal both for nautical workshops with frequent inspections and for preventive maintenance on board during the sailing season.

When to use this diagnostic kit?

It is advisable to perform the water in oil detection test whenever the engine presents symptoms such as white or bluish smoke from the exhaust, unexplained loss of coolant level, milky or emulsified oil, or after an overheating situation. As part of preventive maintenance, it is advisable to include this check at each oil change or at the beginning and end of each nautical season, especially on four-stroke inboard and outboard engines that operate in high humidity or salt water environments. Detecting the presence of water before the damage progresses avoids high-cost repairs such as cylinder head rectification or replacement of internal gaskets, interventions that can leave the boat inoperable for weeks.
