The addition of chlorine to swimming pools, water reservoirs and water
mains is an approved procedure to rid the water of germs. With the correct dose harmful microorganisms are
destroyed, many impurities removed and the growth of algae is prevented. However it is imperative that the
chlorine content is regularly checked, since excessive chlorine not only impairs the smell and taste of the
water but can be hazardous.
One distinguishes between free chlorine and bound chlorine (chloroamines); the sum of
both is called total chlorine.
Note:
When measuring the chlorine content in swimming pools it is recommended to check the pH value as well. For
this purpose we supply combination test kits
