Brand New Handheld Chlorine Tester for Potable Water
Palintest Ltd., the leading company in water quality analysis, has launched a new digital Chlorometer for fast, accurate and easy chlorine level measurement. The new product uses the tried and tested DPD standard method in conjunction with a photometric analyser to give near-instant results. This method produces highly accurate results, and is not subject to interpretation errors that can come with a purely human visual colour judgement.
New Chlorometer from Palintest Ltd. for testing chlorine levels in drinking water.
The new Chlorometer is very easy to use, with just 4 intuitive buttons and a menu that uses universal symbols instead of individual languages on its LCD display screen. While its small size (150 x 65 x 40mm) and light weight (200g) make the unit ideal for in-field and on-site testing, its accuracy (± 0.02 @ 1 mg/l) makes it suitable for bench use in both laboratories and treatment plants. Test ranges are 0.01-5.0 mg/l for Free and Total Chlorine levels, and 1-250 mg/l for Chlorine HR concentrations.
With an IP67 rating, the instrument is robust and waterproof, and can be supplied in either a hard or soft carry-case that also holds a store of reagents and test tubes. It uses only 2 AA batteries, giving around 5,000 readings thanks to its low power operation and auto switch-off setting when not in use. The zero reading is held in memory between uses, or can be reset for each test, while the new narrow band wavelength filters provide unparalleled wavelength accuracy for a handheld monitor.
I’m looking for a way to accurately analyze for Chlorine down to 0.01 ppm or less. The EPA and local environmental entities continue to lower the requirements for our municipalities and yet I find that most methods set a reporting limit at 0.02 ppm. Do you have anything that is USEPA approved to test for Chlorine down to 0.01 ppm?
Hi Nancy, thanks for the question. The Chlorometer discussed here tests from 0.01 to 5 ppm, and does indeed use a USEPA approved method.
The product page on the Palintest USA website for this is: http://www.palintestusa.com/products-details.aspx?id=78 and they can be contacted directly on palintest@palintestusa.com or at 800 835 9629.
Tightening regulations, and the improved water quality that they are there to ensure, factor into Palintest’s continued development of new technology that is more accurate and works over a broader range. Another product that might interest you is the Chlorosense (see next news post) – it tests down to 0.02 ppm, but uses a completely new reagent-free method that is not reliant on technique for accuracy, and just got USEPA approval.
We require a handheld chlorine tester which can accurately measure the free/total chlorine in water.It should be able to measure in the range of 1ppm to 1000ppm.
Can we get the catalogue of different models with price at the earliest.
Thanks
Hello Arvind,
I’ve passed on your request to the Palintest sales team so one of them should be in touch with you shortly. More information about the various chlorine testing products can also be found at http://www.palintest.com/products-test.aspx?test=76 .

Hi Jaiveer,
Thanks for the interest; a member of the Palintest team will be contacting you directly to discuss your query and how we might be able to help.
Mr Singh,
We were unable to contact you at the email address you provided. Please could you explain your question more clearly, so that we can provide you with the exact information you require: are you looking for a meter to measure Oxidation/Reduction Potential directly, or looking for a Chlorine testing system that will match your existing ORP system but using an alternative method?
