Interferences
• Positive error:
- Bromine
- Chlorine Dioxide
- Iodine
- Oxidized Manganese
Chromium
- Ozone
• Alkalinity above 250 mg/L CaCO3 or
acidity above 150 mg/L CaCO3 will
not reliably develop the full amount
of color or it may rapidly fade.
To resolve this, neutralize
sample with diluted HCl or NaOH.
• In case of water with hardness
greater than 500 mg/L CaCO3,
shake the sample for approximately
2' after adding the powder reagent.
