The wireless, hand-held WaterPoint 870 water testing system utilizes a smart sensor chip to calculate 14 different water parameters in 4 minutes. Municipalities and industrial customers can monitor their water in real time. The device also helps pinpoint the extent of contamination quickly and efficiently, and it allows users to perform post-event monitoring while in the field. The system provides an entire panel of key water quality tests including measurements for pH, ORP, conductivity, free chlorine, total chlorine, monochloramine and many more. An optional optical chamber adds two additional, important tests for turbidity and color, making the system suited for routine field testing and troubleshooting.
