PHMB: 5 – 60 ppm (mg/l).

Use Tablet Reagents PHMB

Polyhexamethylene Biguanide

20-PHMB

Be sure to clean all objects that have come into contact with the reagent thoroughly with a brush, water and then distilled water, otherwise the measuring equipment may turn blue over time. This method is calibrated for alkalinity values (M) =120 mg/l and calcium hardness values =200 mg/l. Deviating alkalinity values / calcium hardness values can lead to measurement deviations.

Step-1

• Make sure the measuring chambers are clean beforehand.

• Rinse them with the water you are going to test.
