☛ Simple debugging through the configuration wizard
☛ BOB operation (72 hours)
☛ Self-calibration and self-monitoring
☛ Easy to maintain and clean
☛ packaged design
☛ Multi-color, multi-language graphics display
☛ relay output
☛ Relay output of error message
☛ Analog output of measured value or status information: 0/4-20 mA
☛ Digital inputs for starting analysis, flow switches, or interval repositioning
☛ Measurement data memory and measurement data protocol on the SD card
☛ There is no condensation in the optical system
☛ Update the software through SD card
The FOSTCO 5000 IQ water quality online hardness analyzer comes in two versions
Wall-mounted analyzer
The analyzer consists of a controller and a measuring chamber, both mounted on a bracket on the wall. This version is fully functional, including connections for inlet and outlet and a bracket for a reagent bottle.
Casing analyzer
For wall-mounted analyzers, a plastic enclosure is available for use in locations where pollution is expected to be more severe. The analyzer on the wall bracket can be quickly installed in the enclosure with four screws. If the analyzer and housing are ordered together, the equipment is already installed in the housing.

measuring method | Titration colorimetry (titration of color change) |
measuring range | Total hardness: 0.21-535.7 ppm CaCO3 Total alkalinity: 5.4-401.8 ppm CaCO3 (carbonate hardness) |
certainty of measurement | ± The value is 5% of the maximum reading of each reagent used |
accuracy | ± The value is 2.5% of the maximum reading of the reagent used |
Reagents are consumed | It is approximately 0.05-0.5ml/ analysis, depending on the hardness of the water measured |
Analysis cycle | Continuous measurement/interval measurement (5-360min)/external control |
Measure the duration | About 3min, depending on the hardness of the water and the set flushing time |
Number of analyses | At low water hardness, 500ml of reagent can be used for 10,000 analyses. The amount consumed depends on the hardness of the water being measured and the reagent used. |
water consumption | About 1L / analysis with 2bar, water consumption depends on the inlet pressure and the set flush time. |
