Before your brake lever reaches for nothing, you should regularly check the brake fluid in your hydraulic brakes and replace it if necessary. The brake fluid tester from IceToolz makes it easy to check the water content in the brake fluid. Even though mineral oil is less attractive to moisture than DOT, water collects in the brake line over time due to its hygroscopic properties. This not only leads to corrosion. Much worse: due to the high friction temperature when the brake is under heavy load, the brake fluid in the brake calliper can boil. This causes air bubbles to form which cannot be sufficiently compressed. The braking effect is reduced or does not occur at all ...
Test tester, quickly and easily check the quality of the mineral / DOT brake fluid
Safety first! Determining the water content
If this is 3.5% (wet boiling point), the brake fluid should be replaced
Follow the brake manufacturer's instructions
- Test device for DOT brake fluid and mineral oil
- Measurement of the electrical resistance in the expansion tank on the brake lever
- Quick determination of the water content in the brake fluid
- For evaluating the oil quality as a change recommendation
- Colored LED indicator of the water content (wet boiling point)
- Green = OK: no water in the brake fluid
- Yellow = o. k.: < 1 % / < 2 %, low water content
- Red = not o. k.: 4 %, contains too much water, replacement recommended
- Visual battery charge level indicator
- With clip for pocket attachment
