This practical and user-friendly tool is designed for visually measuring water turbidity, making it reliable for use in remote locations and consistent in various applications. Turbidity is a key parameter to assess before water treatment, such as chlorination (Note: Chlorine is most effective when water turbidity is below 5 NTU), and is also essential for ongoing water quality monitoring.
The Turbidity Tube method, referenced in the WHO Water Quality Handbook and ISO 7027, is simple to use: hold the tube near the bottom, pour water into the tube, and continue until the defined mark (cross or circle) is no longer visible. The turbidity value is then read from the side of the tube.
