Abstract:
A fluid testing system can be used to measure the levels of contaminants in a fluid system. The system can utilize anodic stripping voltammetry or some other chemical, electrical, or electrochemical process to measure the contaminant levels. Wire electrodes may be used to facilitate the tests. Unused portions of the electrode wires can be fed into the test chambers between tests to ensure clean and reliable electrodes for subsequent testing.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of measuring levels of one or more pollutants in a fluid, the method comprising:\n passing a test volume of fluid through an inlet of a housing into a test chamber within the housing; adding a predetermined volume of acid to the test chamber; introducing a first test length of a first electrode wire into the test volume; introducing a first test length of a second electrode wire into the test volume; introducing a first test length of third electrode wire into the test volume; applying a positive voltage from the third electrode to the first electrode for a first period of time; applying a negative voltage from the third electrode to the first electrode for a second period of time; transitioning from the negative voltage back to the positive voltage over a third period of time; measuring current and voltage in the fluid in the test chamber relative to the second electrode; after the measuring step, adding a known quantity of fluid having a known concentration of a selected pollutant to the test chamber and then repeating the applying, transitioning, and measuring steps; determining an amount of the selected pollutant in the test volume of fluid by comparing the measured currents and voltages from before and after the adding of the known quantity of fluid having a known concentration of the selected pollutant.
