How often should a hypochlorinator be calibrated?

Calibrating a hypochlorinator each shift ensures that the system is accurately dispensing the proper amount of chlorine for disinfection. The importance of this calibration is tied directly to the safety and effectiveness of the water treatment process. Since water quality and usage can fluctuate throughout the day, routine calibration at the start of each shift helps to maintain optimal chlorine levels and ensures compliance with regulatory standards.

Calibration done more frequently, as suggested by daily options, may be unnecessary and could lead to waste of resources unless specific conditions dictate a need for it. Weekly or monthly calibrations might not be sufficiently responsive to the daily variations that can occur in water characteristics or flow rates. Hence, calibrating each shift strikes a balance between accuracy, resource management, and operational efficiency in water treatment facilities.
