Phosphate HR No. 2 Tablets for Photometers

Overview

Phosphate HR No. 2 tablets measure orthophosphate, which sits on both sides of the fence: dosed deliberately as a corrosion and scale inhibitor, and watched carefully in effluent because it drives algal blooms in the receiving water. The same test serves both duties.

Key features

• Covers inhibitor dosing control and effluent phosphate compliance
• 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 TbsPPPHR2250

Frequently asked questions

Why is phosphate measured in effluent?
Phosphate is usually the nutrient that limits algal growth, so discharge consents cap it. Too much in a river or dam feeds the blooms that strip oxygen from the water.

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.
