Water quality parameter

pH testing in Ethiopia

pH sets how well chlorine disinfects and how aggressive water is to pipes and fittings. The same chlorine dose does noticeably less work as pH rises, so a pH reading belongs beside every chlorine result. Palintest covers pH with phenol red tablets on a comparator, with photometer reagents and with pocket and bench meters.

Why it matters in Ethiopia

Groundwater from the Rift Valley often arrives alkaline, and alkaline water blunts chlorine. Recording pH next to the chlorine residual explains a weak residual that a chlorine test on its own would blame on the dose.
