Safe Water Treatment Thanks to Precise Chlorine Measurement with JUMO Sensors

Effective and reliable water treatment is virtually impossible without precise monitoring of the disinfection process. JUMO’s sensors and electrodes enable continuous measurement of free chlorine – one of the most important disinfectants in water technology.

Why Measure Free Chlorine?

In water treatment – whether for drinking water, swimming pools, or industrial processes – free chlorine ensures the safe elimination of germs and bacteria. The correct dosage is crucial:
Too little chlorine compromises water quality, while too much can be harmful to both humans and infrastructure.

JUMO’s sensors for free chlorine measurement operate according to the amperometric principle and offer the following advantages:

  • Selective Membrane: Only free chlorine passes through the special membrane into the measuring cell.
  • Reliable Measurement: The chlorine is electrochemically detected inside the cell – the resulting signal is directly proportional to the concentration in the water.
  • Real-Time Monitoring: Ideal for automated control and regulation in water treatment systems.

Typical Applications

  • Drinking water treatment
  • Swimming pool and spa facilities
  • Cooling and process water monitoring
  • Food and beverage industry
