Notes on chlorine, ozone and pH value determination

Chlorine reagent A1 for approx. 150 measurements, content 16 ml
Chlorine reagent A2 for approx. 150 measurements, content 12 ml
Chlorine reagent B for approx. 150 measurements, content 16 ml
pH reagent indicator solution for approx. 50 measurements, content 16 ml

Implementation of the determination of:

1. Chlorine (free)

  • first 3 drops A1 (buffer)
    then 2 drops A2 (DPD reagent solution)drop into the empty cell. Fill the cell up to the 10 ml mark with water, stir or swivel slightly and measure after approx. 1 minute.result = mg/l free Chlorine

2. Chlorine (total)

  • Add reagent solution B for total Chlorine measurement as follows:
    in water sample above 3 drops of solution B
    add, swivel slightly and read value after approx. 1 minuteresult = mg/l total Chlorine

3. Chlorine (combined)

  • result of the determination 2.
    result of  the determination 1.
    = mg/l combined Chlorine

4. pH value

  • pH indicator solution for pH range 6,5 – 8,4
    6 drops in 10 ml water
    swivel slightly and read off the pH value.

5. Ozone (in absence of chlorine)

  • The measurement is carried out with the GPT photometer in chlorine mode.
    First 3 drops of solution B into the empty cell, fill up to the 10 ml mark with test water
    then 3 drops of DPD solution A1
    then 2 drops of solution A2 add and swivel, read value after approx. 2 minutes
    Result:read value
    x factor 0,677
    = mg/l Ozone

Remarks

The drop numbers given above apply to concentrations up to 3 mg/l. For concentrations up to 6 mg/l, the number of drops must be doubled. For higher concentrations, the sample water must be diluted in a suitable way. After use, the dropping bottles must be closed again immediately with the respective screw cap – the caps must not be mixed up!

blue cap on bottle A1

white cap on bottle A2

red cap on bottle B

black cap on bottle pH

Store the reagent set in a cool place if possible.

Important:

Thoroughly rinse the vial and cap after measurements using the cleaning brush to eliminate carry-over errors and deposits.
