METHOD OF ANALYSIS

Free available Chlorine (monitored by the PCA300 series)

oxidizes the DPD indicator reagent at a pH between 5.5 and

6.0 to form a magenta-colored compound. The intensity of

the resulting color is proportional to the concentration of Chlo-

rine in the sample. The purpose of the buffer solution is to

maintain the proper pH.

To measure Total Residual Chlorine (Free available Chlorine

plus combined Chloramines) the PCA301 series adds Po-

tassium Iodide. The Chloramines in the sample cause

iodide ions to become iodine which then act with free Chlo-

rine to oxidize the DPD indicator. After the chemical reaction

is complete, the optical signal at 555 nm is compared to

the signal measured through the sample (before the re-

agents were added). From these measurements Chlorine

concentration is calculated.
