Featured product: Chlorine monitors
------------------------------------------------------

Chlorine must be monitored by water and wastewater systems for a variety 
of reasons -- from ensuring that clean water has been sufficiently 
disinfected for the health and safety of municipal water customers to 
guaranteeing compliance with Federal and state standards requiring that 
wastewater discharged into rivers and streams has been adequately 
dechlorinated in order to protect aquatic life. We offer chlorine 
monitors from Analytical Technology, Inc. (ATI) that allow for 
continuous, automatic measurement of chlorine without any complicated 
chemical mixing or guesswork using paper strips and color charts. 
Maintenance requirements for ATI's chlorine monitors are minimal -- a 
sensor head can be refreshed for months of reliable service in ten 
minutes or less.
