Phosphate analysis in water: when and how should it be measured? In wastewater, discharges, technical circuits or process water, phosphate analysis in water is used to check for the presence of orthophosphates, or phosphorus converted into orthophosphate depending on the protocol used. It can be carried out using a visual field kit or an instrumented…
Heating circuit water check: what should be verified before commissioning? When a heating circuit is filled for the first time, the quality of the water introduced into the system can influence start-up, adjustments and the long-term durability of the equipment. Water that is too hard, too rich in dissolved salts, unsuitable for some materials or…
Multiparameter water analyser: what are the benefits for your installations? Going beyond a single measurement for water quality control In treatment facilities, networks, basins, or industrial circuits, water quality is never captured by a single measurement. An isolated data point can be difficult to interpret without context. By contrast, several parameters recorded at the same…
On-site water analysis: drop-count kits or test strips, which method should you choose? In on-site water analysis, not all testing methods provide the same level of reading. The choice between test strips and drop-count kits directly affects result accuracy and interpretation reliability. In some situations, a quick indication is enough. In others, it is not…
Water buffering capacity: understanding its role in pH stability In industrial installations using water, pH stability directly affects process reliability and equipment service life. Cooling circuits, boilers, wastewater treatment plants: when pH changes uncontrollably, chemical treatments lose effectiveness and the risks of corrosion or scaling increase. This stability largely depends on water buffering capacity, meaning…
Boiler water analysis: complete guide In boiler rooms, water quality directly determines how the thermal circuit operates. Water composition affects heat transfer, hydraulic stability, and equipment lifespan. A physico-chemical imbalance, even a gradual one, can lead to corrosion, deposits, or pH drift, with consequences for boiler efficiency and reliability.Boiler water analysis helps identify these deviations…
Water softener maintenance: hardness control and resin servicing The correct adjustment of a water softener and regular maintenance of its resins directly affect the quality of the water distributed. For water treatment professionals, this is above all an essential control step to ensure the reliability of the installations. In this article, we will look at…
In collective heating installations, water quality is crucial to preserve performance and prevent premature wear of equipment. An imbalance in parameters such as hardness or pH can cause scaling and corrosion. This is why regular water monitoring is essential, especially during boiler and softener maintenance.
A specialized maintenance company chose to simplify its interventions thanks to Aqualabo kits. The goal was to shorten intervention time, allow autonomous work, and still ensure reliable, high-quality monitoring.
How to test water hardness ? Testing water hardness is crucial for maintaining a healthy home environment and ensuring the proper functioning of appliances. Understanding how hard or soft your water is can help you make informed decisions about water treatment and appliance maintenance. This guide will walk you through various methods to check water…
