Nitrate in drinking water

The Orion 4-Star pH/ISE meter and the Orion ionplus nitrate electrode offer fast, accurate results with superior technology

Nitrate can be expressed as either nitrate or nitrate-nitrogen The correct management of fertilisers, manures and other nitrogen sources will minimise the contamination of drinking water supplies

Since nitrate naturally occurs as a form of nitrogen in soil, it is essential to all life.

A vital part of the nitrogen cycle takes place in our environment when nitrate forms.

Plants use nitrate from the soil to satisfy nutrient requirements and nitrate is always present in their leaves and stems.

The high mobility of nitrate allows it to leach into water that people or animals drink, potentially causing serious illness.

Accurate testing of the level is important to determine the proper course of treatment.

The Orion 4-Star pH/ISE meter and the Orion ionplus nitrate electrode offer fast, accurate results with superior technology.

The Orion 4-Star pH/ISE meter has a waterproof locking miniDin probe connector, advanced self-tests on meter operation and 200 data logging capability. Request a free brochure from QCL Scientific ...
