eXact Micro Chlorine Photometer
The eXact Chlorine Photometer is based on award-winning eXact Micro 7+ Meter, a ground-breaking electronic water tester that uses patented technologies for faster, safer, easier and more accurate water testing. eXact Chlorine is designed for residential, commercial, and municipal water testing, where precise Chlorine measurements are required.
eXact Chlorine photometer 486696-PLUS is no longer available. See new product, 486205 Clorine+ Water Tester eXact EZ.
The eXact Chlorine Water Meter offers an expanded range of chlorine detection (0-11 ppm, parts per million). The photometer directly reads free and total chlorine. EPA Compliant testing method for Free & Total Chlorine when used with DPD chemistry.
