Product Description
Use our simple handheld colorimeter to get better water testing results.
Our high range fluoride colorimeter brings you more precise technology from your typical chemical test kit. Since they rely on the human eye, standard test kits have limited accuracy. With our handheld colorimeter you don't have to struggle to match to a color chart as you get direct digital results.
Our portable handheld colorimeter is easily carried in your pocket.
One-button design makes getting your fluoride results simple.
Quickly get your results without using a color chart.
The HI739 Checker® HC (Handheld Colorimeter) provides a simple, accurate and cost-effective way to measure fluoride.
Fluoride is one of the very few chemicals that have been shown to cause significant effects in people through drinking water. Fluoride has beneficial effects on teeth at low concentrations in drinking water, but excessive exposure to fluoride in drinking water, or in combination with exposure to fluoride from other sources, can give rise to a number of adverse effects.
Water fluoridation is the controlled addition of fluoride to a public water supply to reduce tooth decay. Fluoridated water operates on tooth surfaces: in the mouth, it creates low levels of fluoride in saliva, which reduces the rate at which tooth enamel demineralizes and increases the rate at which it remineralizes in the early stages of cavities. A 1994 World Health Organization expert committee suggested a level of fluoride from 0.5 to 1.0 mg/L, depending on climate. Bottled water typically has unknown fluoride levels, and some domestic water filters remove some or all fluoride.
Designed as a more accurate alternative to chemical test kits, the HI739 provides quick, accurate results in a few easy steps.
