Laboratory analyst Jarisha Binion is shown performing the total chlorine pour-thru method, one of the tests used at Rockdale Water Resources to monitor drinking water quality.
Total chlorine includes both free chlorine and combined chlorine, such as chloramines. During testing, a chlorine-specific reagent produces a color reaction in the water sample. A compatible instrument measures that color to determine the total chlorine concentration.
These results help laboratory staff monitor chlorine residuals and evaluate the disinfection process. Careful sample handling, accurate measurements, and thorough documentation help ensure reliable results.
π¬ Every sample tells a storyβand our laboratory team helps us understand it!
