The compact photometer PF‑3 Pool is the smallest member of the MACHEREY‑NAGEL photometer family. The Pool version is especially designed for the need of pool analysis. It supports measurements of Total alkalinity, Cyanuric acid, pH and Chlorine. The handy and compact but strong design makes this lightweight an ideal companion for mobile analysis.
The device completes our product portfolio and perfectly fits our tradition of reliability, user friendliness and innovation.
The instrument comes in multiple versions, equipped with three LEDs and interference filters, designed to meet the analysis requirements of specific applications.
Together with the approved VISOCOLOR ECO test kits, brandnew VISOCOLOR Powder Pillows and high quality NANOCOLOR tube tests from MACHEREY‑NAGEL, the PF‑3 is perfectly suited for mobile analysis directly at the place of sampling.
Optionally, the device comes in a practical case with pre-equipped test kits, in a cardboard box or in an empty case for the individual combination with our VISOCOLOR ECO test kits.
