Aluminium No. 1 Tablets for Photometers

Overview

Aluminium No. 1 tablets measure residual aluminium, the figure that matters wherever alum or a polyaluminium coagulant is dosed. Carryover past the clarifier and filters shows up as a rising aluminium residual, and SANS 241 sets a limit on it in drinking water.

Key features

• Tracks residual aluminium from alum and polyaluminium coagulant dosing
• One tablet per test, so there is no measuring or decanting of liquid reagents
• Foil-sealed strips keep unused tablets dry until they are needed
• Supplied in the standard 250-tablet pack, item code TbsHALM1250

Applications

Potable water clarification and SANS 241 compliance, coagulant dose optimisation, filter performance checks, and industrial effluent treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Why is residual aluminium worth watching?
It is the direct measure of coagulant carryover. A rising residual means the coagulation, pH or filtration is not holding, and drinking water standards cap how much may remain.

Photometer grade or rapid grade — which do I need?
Photometer grade is formulated for instruments that read a cuvette. If you work with a visual comparator or colour disc, ask us for the rapid-dissolving grade instead.

How should the tablets be stored?
Keep them sealed, cool and dry, and work through the oldest strip first. Once a strip is opened the tablets take up moisture, so use them promptly.
