pH value monitoring in water treatment
PH value monitoring is a central component of clinical water treatment, as it significantly influences the chemical processes in water-bearing systems and medical devices. The pH value indicates whether the water is acidic, neutral or alkaline and plays a decisive role in the effectiveness of disinfectants, protection against corrosion and the general efficiency of the water-bearing systems in clinics and hospitals.
Precise pH control is necessary to ensure that the water fulfils the requirements for clinical use. A pH value that is too low can lead to corrosion in pipework and medical equipment, while a pH value that is too high can favour limescale deposits. Both scenarios can affect the functionality and safety of systems, making reliable pH measurement all the more important. Our Testomats for pH monitoring ensure precise and continuous measurement to ensure water quality in sensitive clinical environments.
An outstanding pH monitoring device is the Testomat® EVO TH, which is characterised by its high precision and ease of use. Alternatively, the Testomat® 808 is available, which also offers reliable pH measurement and has been specially developed for use in medical facilities.
The Testomat® EVO TH impresses with its modern functionalities:
- Optical water detection for precise measurement of the pH value in real time
- Import and export of device settings to optimise the measurement parameters
- Logging of measurement data, alarms and messages using an integrated SD or optional SDHC card (2 GB)
- Firmware updates via SD card for continuous system improvement
- LCD graphic display with multilingual menu graphic display with multilingual menu navigation for easy operation
- Automatic venting of the dosing tubes to ensure constant measurement accuracy
- Integrated self-test with continuous monitoring to avoid measurement errors
- Limit value monitoring with configurable alarm functions for compliance with clinical standards
PH measurement with the Testomat® EVO TH offers numerous advantages, that meet clinical requirements:
- High-precision titration and pH analysis for maximum measurement accuracy
- Low-maintenance operation with minimal water and reagent consumption
- Programmable alarm functions for early detection of deviations in pH- value
- External control options for integration into existing water treatment systems
- Automatic interval operation and precise analysis triggering via water volume counters
Regular pH value monitoring is crucial, to ensure the water quality in clinics and guarantee the smooth operation of all water-bearing systems. The Testomat® EVO TH and Testomat® 808 offer precise and reliable solutions that meet the high demands of clinical hygiene management and ensure water treatment at the highest level.

The Testomat® 808 is a compact analyser for online measurement of water hardness according to the principle of "limit value monitoring with colour change" in the measuring range 0.02 - 5 ° dH (0.4 - 89 ppm). Applications of the continuous residual hardness monitoring are e.g.: Reverse osmosis systems, boiler feed water supply Soft water for commercial purposes, ultrapure water systems. In view of the fact that the Testomat® 808 is suitable for use in multi-parameter systems due to its 4-20mA signal output, we hereby offer you the Testomat® 808 in conjunction with the NeoTecMaster® Multicontroller, which was specially developed by our company, as a package solution at a preferential price. The 4-channel NeoTecMaster® Multicontroller included in this package enables the processing of up to four measurement signals. Via the 4-20mA NeoTec slave input module connected to the NeoTecMaster®, the data is transmitted to the NeoTecMaster® and used to display the measured value, the trend and the status messages on the 5-inch screen. In addition, the NeoTecMaster® has an RS232 interface as well as a Modbus RTU input, which you can use freely after brief technical consultation with us. (Pre-check whether your existing measurement technology to be integrated requires adjustments). The NeoTecMaster® can be systematically supplemented with further optional NeoTec modules (function / signal converter modules) as required. This allows the future realisation of further control concepts in a flexible way. Two modules which fundamentally extend the range of functions and are already included in the scope of delivery are our NeoTec slave relay module and the 4x 4-20mA input module. This allows you to add potential-free relay contacts to the overall system and to integrate and visualise further system technology such as sensors via the 4x 4-20mA input module. You can freely assign the relay contacts to the incoming measurement signals and thus, for example, implement simple limit value-related control concepts as well as output measurement value-related messages. Further advantages of the NeoTecMaster: Simple operation Integration of the Testomat® device world, here in connection with the Testomat® 808 Integration into the existing control cabinet, alternatively we offer our NeoTecMaster® enclosure Modular range of functions can be extended by NeoTec slave and signal converter modules (measurement, control, regulation) Available as built-in or surface-mounted variant Structured continuous data recording on the integrated SD card or optionally available SDHC card (2Gbyte) as a file in CSV format In addition, there are the proven functionalities of the Testomat® 808: Indication of limit value undershoot or overshoot: green / red LED Modern indicator pump system Automatic measuring sequence with low water consumption Direct error and indicator quantity display Internal and external flushing of the measuring chamber by manual control Control of an external flush valve Three potential-free relays for: External flush valve control Limit value evaluation External control and / or alarm processing Safety check for 72-hour operation without supervision Indicator quantities: 100 and 500 ml bottles 4 - 20 mA interface for defined status and error messages RS 232 interface for firmware updates General information Water connection and operating pressure: Depending on unit version: 0.3 - 1 bar / 0.3 x 105 to 4 x 105 Pa 1 - 4 bar / 1 x 105 to 4 x 105 Pa (from 4 to 8 bar, a pressure reducer must be used (special accessory)) Water inlet: opaque hose with 6 mm outer diameter/4 mm inner diameter Water outlet: hose with 6 mm outer diameter/4 mm inner diameter Water temperature: 10 to 40 °C From 4 bar, a separately available pressure reducer must be used.
