Holy # of Test Methods
Typical Chlorine Test Methods DPD (N,N Diethyl-1,4 Phenylendediamine Sulfate)
Recommended For Total Chlorine and Free Chlorine, If Breakpoint Achievement Has Been Confirmed
Used With Many Test Kits/Analyzers Free Chlorine Must Be Read Within a Minute of Sample
Preparation Total Chlorine To Be Read Within 3 – 5 Minutes After Sample
Prepared
Indophenol Recommended For Free Chlorine Confirmation It Is Not An IEPA Approved Method For Free Chlorine

Cation Exchange Treatment Exposed
Cation Exchange Treatment Summary General Definition of Ion Exchange Treatment
(Source: New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services):
Ion exchange (IE) is a water treatment method where one or more undesirable contaminants are removed from water by exchange with another non-objectionable, or less objectionable substance. Both the contaminant and the exchanged substance must be dissolved and have the same type (+,-) of electrical charge.
Cation Exchange (CE) Treatment Targets Cations Ions With + Charge
Typical Regenerant is Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
