How Much Can You Save?
The Halogen MP5 costs as low as $185 per year* to operate — vs. $2,328 for online DPD, $1,794 for membrane amperometric, and $1,441 for bare electrode sensors. That's a potential saving of $2,143 per sensor per year switching from DPD, or $10,715 over five years — before counting the ~$490/year in non-revenue waste water the MP5 eliminates.
*Applies to H2 and higher sensor models. SensiCLENE cleaning beads ($35/yr) are replaced annually; the pH sensor ($295) lasts 1–2 years. Cellular data for remote sites is 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 MP5
Zero reagents, self-cleaning, and minimal calibration needs.
