How Much Can You Save?
The Halogen MP5 costs $350 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 $1,978 per sensor per year switching from DPD, or $9,890 over five years.
*Applies to H2 and higher sensor models. Wear parts last many years — only the SensiCLENE cleaning beads require annual replacement.
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.
