Chlorine Disinfection: Free Chlorine, pH and Residual
Understand hypochlorous acid, contact time, chlorine demand and why free and total chlorine differ.
Preview article →A technical reference on water treatment, disinfection, materials, biofilm, corrosion and the control of vessel drinking-water systems.
Browse marine treatment technology, water chemistry, biofilm, corrosion and operational controls. Every guide explains how the process works, its benefits, limitations and what to monitor on board.
Record drinking water and pool/spa measurements, follow trends and open reports securely.
Crew Water Monitoring →Practical onboard fault guides for water colour, odour, biofilm, pressure, filters, corrosion and pool/spa. Check, record and escalate instead of guessing.
Choose the vessel’s registered flag to access its own drinking-water guidance and evidence register. National requirements are not interchangeable.
