Redox pocket testers from Milwaukee measure the redox potential (ORP - oxidation-reduction potential) of a liquid. They are used in many areas where water quality and chemical reactions need to be monitored. Here are some of the most important areas of application:
- water treatment & drinking water monitoring
- Control of disinfection by chlorine or ozone
- Checking the water quality in wells or tap water
- Monitoring the oxidizing power in treatment plants
- 2. pool & spa water care
- Ensuring the correct chlorine concentration for disinfection
- Prevention of algae growth and bacterial contamination
- Supplement to pH measurement for optimum water care
- aquaristics & fish farming
- Water quality control in freshwater and saltwater aquariums
- Ensuring a stable redox potential for healthy fish
- Monitoring the decomposition of organic substances and toxins
- agriculture & hydroponics
- Control of nutrient degradation and fertilizer use in hydroponic systems
- Monitoring water quality for plant growth
- Ensuring a stable redox potential for soil and water analyses
- food & beverage industry
- Control of disinfectant solutions in production facilities
- Quality assurance in beverage production (e.g. wines, fruit juices)
- Monitoring of fermentation processes
- wastewater & environmental monitoring
- Monitoring of pollutants in rivers, lakes or sewage treatment plants
- Control of chemical reactions in industrial wastewater
- Measurement of redox potential in biological purification processes
Redox testers are a valuable addition to pH measuring devices as they help to better understand and control chemical equilibria in liquids.
