Hanna Instruments HI 38018 Test kit Free Chlorine

Chlorine is the most commonly used disinfectant in treating drinking water, waste water, swimming pools and for sterilisation in the agri-food business sector.
Chlorine present in water binds with bacteria so that only the free chlorine portion is still available to function as a disinfectant.
If the ratio of chlorine drops too low in relation to the pH, water develops an unpleasant taste and odour.
Free chlorine reacts with ammonia ions and organic compounds to form chlorine compounds.
These compounds together with the chloramines form combined chlorine.
Combined chlorine and free chlorine together make up the total chlorine.
Free chlorine has a much greater disinfectant effect than combined chlorine, whereas combined chlorine is more stable and less volatile.
