Free Chlorine Checker 0.00 to 2.50 ppm
Hanna Instruments HI-701 Free Chlorine Checker®HC Handheld Colorimeter (0.00 to 2.50 ppm)
The Hanna Instruments HI-701 Free Chlorine Checker®HC is a compact, palm-sized handheld colorimeter for quick and accurate measurement of free chlorine across a range of 0.00 to 2.50 ppm. Chlorine is the most commonly used water disinfectant and regular, accurate monitoring is essential to avoid serious health and safety risks. The HI-701 delivers high precision results in a simple, portable format that is more accurate than chemical test kits, with no colour-matching guesswork required.
The HI-701 uses an adaptation of USEPA method 330.5 — the reaction between free chlorine and the DPD reagent produces a pink tint in the sample which the Checker®HC measures and displays as a digital ppm value. The contoured casing is designed to fit comfortably in the palm of the hand, the large LCD is easy to read, and the auto shut-off feature ensures the battery cannot be drained if the unit is left on. The HI-701 is supplied with two sample cuvettes, a cuvette cap, a starter pack of reagents (6 tests), a battery and instructions. Replacement reagents are available as HI-701-25 (25 tests).
