Do you have a Hach DR900? Have you lost the ability to view and access it's stored programs?
There is a potential for the Hach DR 900 to lose the ability to view and access its stored programmes. This is a result of the internal data log overwriting the stored programme file. This will most likely occur on instruments that have performed in excess of 1,700 tests. In addition, th...
Testing aquarium water, such as freshwater and saltwater (natural or artificial seawater), with reliable instruments is necessary to create a clean and safe environment for your aquatic species.
Maintaining proper aquarium water chemistry is essential for the well-being of fish and other aquatic species. Aquarium enthusiasts utilise saltwater, whether it's natural or artificial seawater, in...
DPD tablets (diethyl-p-phenylenediamine) are used to determine chlorine in water and can also be used to test bromine, iodine and other disinfectants. These tablets come in four different types and are used alone or in combination, depending on your measurement parameter. The convenience of using a rapid version is that it dissolves quickly but is used as a visual test only.

With all pools or hot tubs, one of the most important jobs is making sure that your water is regularly tested and safe to use. There are a number of parameters that can be measured including the disinfectant levels (usually chlorine or bromine), pH and alkalinity.
What is Alkalinity?
Alkalinity, normally referred to as total alkalinity, is the measurement of the alkaline salts (carbonat...
The LAQUAtwin pocket meter is a simple and compact design that allows accurate direct measurement from a single drop of sample on its unique flat sensor (see image).
LAQUAtwin pen pocket meters are available for seven electrochemistry parameters, including pH, conductivity, various ions (Na+, K+, NO3, Ca2+) and salt concentration. This blog will be focused on pH meter calibration. How...
Chlorine is the most popular disinfectant used in swimming pools throughout the UK. The level of chlorine is dependent on your requirements and procedures laid down in your Pool Technical Operating Procedure (PTOP).
Once set, the chlorine level should be tested regularly and again, this should be specified in the PTOP but as a guideline, a minimum of three times a day would be recommended. ...
Lovibond has two variations in its range of portable waterproof handheld meters. These electrochemical measuring instruments are designed for safety, mobility, and ease of data retention and storage.
The data loggers regularly save the collected measurement data which can be transferred to the computer via USB interface (serial or analogue).
With the SD 305/315/325 series, the instrument is ...
