How Much Can You Save?
The Halogen H2 costs $35 per sensor per year* in annual cleaning beads — vs. $2,328 for online DPD, $1,794 for membrane amperometric, and $1,441 for bare electrode sensors. That's a potential parts-cost saving of $2,293 per sensor per year switching from DPD, or $11,465 over five years, before counting water savings.
*H2 requires only annual SensiCLENE cleaning-bead replacement. The full H2 maintenance kit is not an annual requirement. Labor, shipping, taxes, and cellular data are additional.
Quick Answer
Which chlorine analyzer saves water?
See the proof: certifications, patents & field results.
Online DPD
High reagent costs and constant maintenance requirements.
Membrane Amperometric
Frequent membrane replacement and electrolyte refills.
Bare Electrode
Subject to fouling and inconsistent calibration cycles.
Halogen H2
Zero reagents, self-cleaning, and minimal calibration needs.
