A portable analysis system designed for measuring chlorine levels in water solutions commonly used in pools, spas, and various industrial applications. The system generally includes reagents, a comparator block, and instructions for use. Users add a sample of water to the reagent, which causes a color change proportional to the chlorine concentration. This color is then visually matched against a color standard on the comparator block to determine the chlorine level, expressed in parts per million (ppm).
Accurate monitoring of water chlorination is critical for maintaining water quality and preventing the growth of harmful bacteria and algae. Consistent measurements provide data vital for adjusting chemical treatments, ensuring the safety and hygiene of water sources. These systems have played an important role in water treatment processes for many years, offering a relatively simple and cost-effective method for ensuring proper disinfection.
