Description
Turbidity is a measurement of the cloudiness or haze of the water. Swimming pool, hot tub, and spa water can have varying degrees of cloudiness from the indiscernible to very noticeable when the bottom of a pool cannot be seen. The cloudiness or haze can be a symptom of a variety of problems from biological forms including algae and bacteria to precipitates such as calcium carbonate that will appear at elevated pH levels. Back flushing, filter cartridge replacement, adding flocculants, or a simple pH adjustment can sometimes resolve the increase in water turbidity. The remedy is determined by the cause of the increase in turbidity. The turbidity of a swimming pool, hot tub, or spa should be kept low at a value of 0.5 FNU/NTU or less.
The HI987134 Pool Line Precision ISO Turbidity Portable Meter is specially designed for water quality measurements, providing reliable and accurate readings, even within low turbidity ranges. The instrument is based on a state-of-the-art optical system which guarantees accurate results, assures long term stability, and minimizes stray light and color interferences. Periodic calibration with the supplied standards compensates for any variations in intensity of the LED light source. The 25 mm round cuvettes composed of special optical glass guarantee the repeatability of turbidity measurements.
