Chlorine Measurement

Chlorine Measurement

Chlorine is a popular disinfectant used for water purification. It is introduced into freshwater supplies, as well as pool and spa water, for disinfecting bacteria, algae, and harmful contaminants. When a high amount of chlorine is added to water, some residual chlorine will remain in the water after organisms are destroyed. The residual chlorine will remain in the water until it dissolves completely. The presence of residual chlorine in water indicates the potability of water because there are no disease-causing organisms in it. Water treatment facilities, pool and spa owners, as well as residential users, rely on various chlorine tests to learn about the presence of residual chlorine in water. These residual tests are performed using test kits, instruments, and comparators.

At Cannon Water Technology, we provide one of the comprehensive selections of chlorine measurement devices. Our inventory features chlorine meters, chlorine residual test kits, and chlorine tester pens from Myron L, Advantage Controls, and Pyxis.

An Overview of Chlorine Reaction in Water

When we add chlorine to the water, it gets divided into three parts, combined chlorine, free chlorine, and total chlorine, depending on what material it is reacting with. Combined chlorine is the amount of chlorine that has reacted with inorganic and organic nitrogen-containing molecules; free chlorine is the leftover chlorine and most effective one which inactivates disease-causing organisms, whereas total chlorine is the sum of free and combined chlorine measurements.

Types of Chlorine Measurement Devices Offered by Cannon Water Technology

At Cannon Water Technology, we provide the following types of chlorine measurement devices.

  • Chlorine Residual Test Kits: These kits are used to measure the concentration of residual chlorine in water. Our kits feature colorimetric reagents, test tubes or vials, a color comparison chart, and instructions for use. They are ideal for checking the chlorine concentration in swimming pools and spas. 
  • Digital Chlorine Meters: These are handheld testers used for measuring various water treatment parameters. The Pyxis handheld testers offered by us can measure free/total chlorine, as well as conductivity, PTSA, pH, and temperature. They are designed for water cooler and boiler applications. Our residual chlorine meters are easy to use and feature a color LCD display screen that offers insights into the free/total chlorine as well as other water treatment parameters.
  • Chlorine Tester Pens: These pens are portable and easy to carry instruments. They possess a rugged design and assure accurate results.
