Hanna HI716 Bromine Checker

Hanna HI716 Bromine Checker

The Hanna HI716 Bromine Checker is a reliable, handheld digital colorimeter designed for accurate measurement of bromine levels in water. Ideal for pool maintenance, spa systems, and environmental water analysis, this compact instrument bridges the gap between basic chemical test kits and professional laboratory instrumentation. It utilizes an adaptation of the DPD colorimetric method, where bromine reacts with reagents to produce a pink tint, allowing for precise digital readings without subjective interpretation.

Designed for ease of use and portability, the HI716 provides fast, laboratory-grade results in just a few simple steps—perfect for routine water quality monitoring in both field and laboratory settings.
