Polymer test kits

The Polymer Test Kit C-0185 from WET Inc. is designed to be a low cost alternative to a colorimeter for testing water treatment polymers. It is also designed to be used in a more rugged environment than the lab style colorimeter. The methodology of the C-0185 is based on a charge neutralization process which causes water treatment polymer(s) to coagulate, resulting in turbidity.

pH sensors

pHD™-series sensors, manufactured by Hach/GLI, use a patented Differential Electrode Technology that features three measuring electrodes instead of the two contained in conventional pH sensors. The process electrode and standard electrode measure the pH differentially with respect to a third ground electrode. This technique provides accuracy, reduced reference junction fouling, and virtually eliminates ground loops. The benefit is greater reliability with less downtime and maintenance.

Hydrant blow-offs

Kupferle Foundry's new #TF500 Blow-Off installs underground in a 5-1/4" adjustable valve box. Ideal for cul-de-sacs, this non-freezing unit allows quick and easy flushing. And, because all parts are extractable from above the ground, there will never be a need to dig to repair. All units can be converted to automatic flushers at a later date. Optional features include a sampling port and all-brass construction.
