Measuring the Color

of Water

The color of water, or the lack thereof, affects people’s perception of its cleanliness, safety, and drinkability. To ensure their brand is successful, bottled water manufacturers must consistently provide customers with transparent and colorless products. HunterLab offers color measurement solutions that meet the quality standards of visual perception for water. The HunterLab spectrophotometers provide water producers with quantitative values, including APHA, Haze%, and other standard scales and indices, to accurately evaluate the quality of their products.

Why measure the color of water?​

Color and appearance measurements play a crucial part in the refining process of water. This data helps to identify the optimum level of refinement before distribution. The color of water can provide valuable information about its source and content. Testing for color can be a quick and easy way to evaluate the quality of water products. HunterLab spectrophotometers and quality control solutions provide accurate and consistent color and appearance data that can improve the efficiency and consistency of your production process.

Manufacturers need color and appearance measurements to verify product quality. HunterLab manufactures premier spectrophotometers that can measure both the color and haze (turbidity) of water simultaneously.

The HunterLab spectrophotometer can measure the color of water against industry color scales and indices, ensuring that your brand reputation and profit margins are always in check. Make your quality assurance process simple with an easy-to-use modern interface, the latest data communication features, and all the pre-equipped color scales and indices you need, including Hunter L,a,b, CIELAB, APHA, and Haze%.
