Evaluates the demand for chlorine in water treatment processes, crucial for effective disinfection and maintaining water quality standards.

Chlorine Dioxide is a powerful oxidizing agent used for the disinfection of potable water, cooling towers, process water and food processing.

Indicates the concentration of chlorophyll a pigment in water, providing insights into phytoplankton biomass and ecosystem health.

Assesses the visual appearance of water, indicating potential contaminants or natural substances influencing water quality.

Conductivity is a measure of water’s ability to pass an electrical current and is affected by the presence of inorganic dissolved solids, including ions that carry a negative charge or ions that carry a positive charge.

Detects the presence of harmful substances or pollutants in water, providing early warnings for potential health and environmental risks.

Dissolved Ammonia is used to prolong the effectiveness of the disinfection chlorine added in the drinking water, wastewater, pharmaceutical and food and drink industries.

Measures the concentration of organic carbon compounds dissolved in water, indicating the presence of pollutants and influencing water quality and ecosystem health.

Dissolved Oxygen (DO) is used to measure the amount of gaseous oxygen contained in water. Healthy waters that can support life must contain Dissolved Oxygen.

Ozone is an extremely effective oxidant, dissolved in water to remove organic carbon from raw water and destroying most pathogens.

Dissolved sulfide is the presence of sulfide ions (S²⁻) in water, often originating from organic matter decomposition in anaerobic conditions. Elevated levels of dissolved sulfide can lead to water quality degradation and pose health risks to aquatic organisms and humans.

Backwashing is a form of preventive maintenance so that the filter media can be reused. Backwash filtration systems remove the need to regularly clean filters, provide information on how clean your water is and help to prevent water loss.

Identifies unique characteristics or parameters in water samples, aiding in source identification, pollution assessment, and environmental monitoring.

Fluoride is used in the production and treatment of both drinking and industrial waste water, often added to water systems to help reduce dental cavities.

Hydrogen Peroxide is used within water and chemical treatment processes for disinfection and bleaching applications.

Nitrate Nitrogen / Nitrate (NO3-N / NO3) measures nitrate ions (NO3-) in water, reflecting nutrient pollution levels and potential health risks.

Nitrite Nitrogen / Nitrite (NO2-N / NO2) measures nitrite ions (NO2-) in water, indicating pollution sources and potential health risks, emphasizing the need for monitoring and management to safeguard water quality.

Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) is an important method for testing water quality, providing an easy way to understand sanitation levels and cleanliness of water applications.

Peracetic Acid (PAA) is an extremely strong oxidizer, widely used in the food and beverage industry for the disinfection of pipes, cooling water systems, processing equipment and for the spray washing of food products.

Permanganate (MnO4) is a strong oxidant used in water treatment to control taste, odors, biological growth and to remove color, manganese and iron.

pH is the value used to measure the acidity and alkalinity of water. Measure pH in raw water, process water and final water systems.

Monitors the concentration of potassium ions in water, influencing nutrient dynamics, plant growth, and overall ecosystem function.

Pressure is the amount of force applied to push water from one place to another through networked pipes. Monitor real-time and accurate data to allow the proactive management of networked water systems.

Sulfite occurs naturally in numerous minerals, and these dissolved minerals contribute to the mineral content of drinking water.

Sludge Blankets play an integral role in the wastewater treatment process and is the interface between sludge that has settled on the bottom of the tank and the water above it.

Suspended Solids refers to small solid particles that remain in suspension in water. The measurement of suspended solids is one way of gauging water quality.

Measures the thermal condition of water, impacting physical, chemical, and biological processes, and influencing habitat suitability and species distribution.

Quantifies the total amount of organic carbon compounds in water, providing insights into organic pollution levels and water quality degradation.

Turbidity is the measurement of optical clarity of water and is defined as the amount of light scattered from particles in solution.

Evaluates ultraviolet (UV) radiation levels in water, indicating the effectiveness of UV treatment processes for disinfection and ensuring safe drinking water supplies.

UV254 is a water quality test parameter that provides a measurement of the organic matter present in water and wastewater.
