Gesamtchlor bezieht sich auf die Gesamtmenge an Chlor, die in einer Lösung vorhanden ist, unabhängig davon, ob es sich um freies Chlor oder an andere Substanzen gebundenes Chlor handelt. Wenn Chlor als Desinfektionsmittel in Wasser eingesetzt wird, reagiert es nicht nur mit Bakterien und anderen Keimen, sondern auch mit organischen Verbindungen und Ammoniak, die in Wasser vorkommen können.
Das Ergebnis dieser Reaktion ist, dass das Chlor an anderen Substanzen gebunden wird und nicht mehr als freies Chlor vorliegt, sondern als sogenanntes gebundenes Chlor oder "Chlorrest".
Die Messung von Gesamtchlor ist wichtig, es ein Indikator für die Wirksamkeit der Desinfektion ist. Wenn die Gesamtchlor-Konzentration hoch ist, kann dies bedeuten, dass eine ausreichende Menge an Chlor in der Lösung vorhanden ist, um Keime abzutöten. Andererseits kann eine niedrige Gesamtchlor-Konzentration darauf hinweisen, dass das Wasser nicht ausreichend desinfiziert wurde und potenziell schädliche Keime enthalten kann.
Zu beachten ist, dass eine zu hohe Gesamtchlor-Konzentration schädlich sein kann, da es zu Augen- und Hautreizungen führen kann und bei längerer Exposition gesundheitliche Probleme verursachen kann. Aus diesem Grund ist es wichtig, die Gesamtchlor-Konzentration im sicheren Bereich zu halten und sicherzustellen, dass das Chlor in einer kontrollierten Weise eingesetzt wird, um maximale Desinfektionswirkung bei minimaler Exposition zu erreichen.
Für die Messung von Gesamtchlor eignen sich die Gerätevarianten Testomat 2000 THCL, Testomat 2000 CLT und Testomat 2000 CLT self clean.
