With each passing day, the joys of summer bathing are drawing closer for the pool and natural pond owners among our readers. But to avoid surprises, it is advisable to check whether the pH value of the water is in the green range before jumping into the refreshing water. If it is too acidic or alkaline, you or your bathers could react negatively, as could the fish and plants in the natural kingdom. The compact meter BW10 pH precisely determines the pH value of acidic to alkaline solutions – and is therefore just as ideal for swimming pool owners as it is for aquarium and plant lovers and for professional drinking water and water monitoring.
For swimming pools as well as private swimming pools, compliance with and thus regular monitoring of the correct pH value is indispensable. Especially if they are located outdoors and because time and again disinfectants such as chlorine or bromine have to be added. But even in natural ponds, which usually get by without the addition of chemical aids, the pH value can always shift due to rain or being filled up with tap water. Ideally, pond and pool water should have a pH value of approx. pH 7 (neutral) and this should remain as steady as possible over time.
Which is why the following also applies to the pH value: control is better!
If the water in the pool becomes too acidic or too alkaline, swimmers may suffer from burning eyes and itching. Furthermore, a strongly fluctuating pH value also has a negative influence on the durability of materials used in the pool, because these react with corrosion, decomposition and porosity, as well as on the effectiveness of the added disinfectants. This also applies to natural ponds, which usually have a natural equilibrium and do not need additional chemical additives. Rain and top-ups with tap water can cause the pH value to constantly shift into the acidic (pH < 7) or alkaline (pH > 7) range. To avoid yourself or your loved ones from having such allergic reactions when bathing in the pool, you should regularly check the BW10 meter to ensure that the correct pH value is maintained.
PH meter BW10 – simple and precise measurement of pH values
The pH meter BW10 allows the exact, quick and precise determination of pH values between pH 0 and pH 14, thanks to automatic temperature compensation and the use of auto calibration in the temperature measuring range from 0 to 50 °C. The determined pH value is displayed accurately to two decimal places along with the water temperature. A separate thermometer is therefore not necessary. The device has a 3-point calibration that is already carried out before leaving the factory, with it also being possible to repeat this at any time later on with very little effort by using the supplied pH buffer solution set.
The practice-optimised pH meter BW10 comes equipped with an easily exchangeable pH electrode. The electrode and water temperature probe are protected from damage by means of a removable protective cap. Due to a convenient hold function, it is not necessary to write down the previously measured value. Furthermore, an automatic switch-off function reduces the energy consumption of the four button batteries already included in the scope of delivery.
