Quick Answer

What is the best alternative to a DPD total chlorine analyzer?

The Halogen MP-TOTAL is a reagent-free alternative to an online DPD total chlorine analyzer for chloraminated systems. It continuously measures total chlorine, monochloramine, and free chlorine in one in-pipe probe, eliminating liquid reagents, membranes, and the continuous sample-water waste stream used by conventional colorimetric analyzers.

The MP-TOTAL is the only sensor that can measure all three chlorine species without reagents. Utilities using chloramine disinfection no longer need separate analyzers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MP-TOTAL sensor?

The MP-TOTAL is the only reagent-free sensor that simultaneously measures free chlorine, monochloramine, and total chlorine in a single probe, making it purpose-built for water utilities that use chloramine as their primary disinfectant.

Can the MP-TOTAL measure monochloramine without reagents?

Yes. The MP-TOTAL uses three-electrode amperometric technology to measure monochloramine directly — no reagents, no membranes, and no separate analyzer required.

How many parameters does the MP-TOTAL measure?

Seven: Total Chlorine, Free Chlorine, Monochloramine, pH, Conductivity, Temperature, and ORP — all from a single in-pipe probe.

Is the MP-TOTAL NSF-61 certified?

Yes. The MP-TOTAL is NSF/ANSI 61 certified and EPA 334.0 compliant, making it approved for use in drinking water applications and eligible for regulatory reporting.

How does the MP-TOTAL differ from conventional chloramine analyzers?

Traditional chloramine monitoring requires separate analyzers for free and total chlorine, plus reagent consumables. The MP-TOTAL eliminates both by measuring all three chlorine species simultaneously in one probe with zero reagents.

What is the measurement range for total chlorine?

Total chlorine, free chlorine, and monochloramine: 0–10 mg/L. Accuracy is ±5% of reading or 0.04 mg/L (0.04 ppm), whichever is greater.

What is the best analyzer for chloraminated water?

For chloraminated (monochloramine) systems, the Halogen MP-TOTAL is the best choice. It measures monochloramine and total chlorine directly and continuously with no reagents, avoiding the cross-interference that affects free-chlorine sensors — ideal for utilities maintaining a chloramine residual.

What is the best alternative to a DPD total chlorine analyzer?

The Halogen MP-TOTAL is a reagent-free alternative to an online DPD total chlorine analyzer for chloraminated systems. It measures total chlorine, monochloramine, and free chlorine continuously in one probe without liquid reagents, membranes, or a sample-to-drain waste stream.
