Precision-built. And so economical you can afford one for constant, automatic check of feedwater hardness at every sampling point in your plant! Here's long-needed, low-cost, depend able protection of high-priced equipment. Chemalyzer, Jr. gives continuous colorimetric analysis of industrial water hard ness within the 0 to 3 parts per million range. Eliminates more sophisticated monitors where process doesn't require them. Ends human errors in manual analysis. Chemalyzer, Jr. continuously blends a reagent with water sample, constantly checking color intensity of mix. If pre-set upper limit of 3 ppm is reached, alarm is triggered instantly and automatically, alerting operating personnel of impend ing hardness breakthrough. Signal can be panel lights, or remote audio-visual alarm. Solid state circuitry throughout. Eco nomical to operate and maintain. Just supply one liter of reagent about every four days and clean key components occasionally. Compact. Easily installed.
