Aluminium No. 2 Tablets for Photometers

Overview

Aluminium No. 2 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 TbsPALM2250

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.
