Oxidation occurs in water when a one cell takes ions from cell another and then cause that one to take from another causing it to become a free radical which cascades and the cells break down. By measuring the process it is named ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential). We Use the milwaukee orp meterto measure parameters in drinking water in which the theory is with a negative orp will help maintain proper ph balance in the body. Positive ions oxidize. It measures the tendancy of a liquid if the liquid is a oxidative item or free radical. The higher the number the greater potential for harmful oxidation. Many Kangan Water tester users use the Milwaukee orp meter mw500 water tester to measure the output of the water filter making sure a low ph. When testing the water they are testing the acidity or alkalinity of the water plus the oxygen redux potential.
In an aquarium now an orp tester is good for the life of your fish and keeping good health
High levels can make excessive corrosion, resulting in expensive repairs to your aquarium. This is one parameter that can be measured during the cleaning process for Enagic drinking water filters, swimming pool, pond water, and spa treatments. Corrosion can also be caused by incorrect ph levels and salt corrosion as well so check out our ph testers and salinity refractometers now on sale. By the way if you are a Enagic alkaline water dealer Check out www.AlkalineDemoTank.com for a brand new product.
The reason for using a orp tester is depending on your low level you can kill lower level life forms such as bacteria. You can decrease bad bacteria in an aquarium or by lowering the o.r.p. of the saltwater tank which works the same way in swimming pool or spa water. This is a great swiming pool tester. It has been proven that the Orp will decrease the longevity of bad bacteria more efficiently than chlorine. In Swimming pools we try to maintain a ph of approx 7.2 through 7.6. This is ideal to decrease chlorine dissapation levels.You must maintain a O.R.P. measurement above 700 mV to kill undesirable organisms.
