In this section, you can find answers to all your questions about the quality of your home's water. We offer various pH meters to regulate its acidity and water hardness meters to check if the reverse osmosis system is performing its function correctly.
Take a look at our selection of water meters and add the right one to your basket!
The water meter is a little-known and used element by the vast majority of the world's population, although it is a product of high importance both in the domestic and industrial fields. There are many types of water meters, whether for pH, heavy metals, salinity, hardness, acidity, or lime present in the water of our home, pool, or wherever we store or consume water.
For proper health and to avoid problems when in contact with water with poor values of the aforementioned, we will use different meters that you can find in this specialised section, but first, let's detail the different types of water meters that exist.
There are manual and electronic pH meters for water, with the former requiring human intervention in the various parts of the process of obtaining, analysing, and evaluating the sample. On the other hand, electronic pH meters are as simple to use as collecting the water sample and letting the measuring device perform its analyses automatically and provide the water values.
In both cases, once we have the pH analysis result provided by the reagent in the case of the manual meter or on the screen of the electronic one, we should take action if the water's pH is not at ideal values.
Water is considered to be at optimal pH values when its pH values are at 7; anything with a lower value is considered acidic, and conversely, greater than 7 is considered alkaline.
Therefore, if we find values that are not optimal for the water, we should incorporate different products to regulate it, such as chlorine, flocculant, or algaecides as appropriate.
The hardness of water is mostly formed by calcium and magnesium. This phenomenon causes stiffness in hair, gives an unpleasant taste to drinking water, and forms deposits that encrust in pipes, appliances, or crockery in our home.
To measure whether water is hard or not, a TDS meter can be used, which will serve as verification once the water has passed through the entire reverse osmosis system to determine if the water filtration has been done correctly or, if not, find out what is happening in the system to correct it and continue producing high-quality water.
The measurements taken with the TDS system should indicate a number of PPM, Parts Per Million, of 40 or lower. If it is a higher number, the water filtration is not being done correctly.
These are the meters that encompass all the different basic checks that should be carried out in any pool, water tanks, or drinking water we consume to ensure we are providing our body, either internally or externally, with quality water.
