Reliably measure free fluoride concentration

Employing a fluoride sensitive ion selective electrode (ISE) sensor, ATi's novel A15/82 fluoride monitor provides dependable measurements of fluoride down to 0.1ppm and as high as 1000ppm. A chemistry module offers sample conditioning for the sensor while the measured fluoride concentration is displayed on a separate electronics module that has been equipped with alarm and analogue output functions. Fluoride is widely added to drinking water systems to help prevent tooth decay.

Optimum fluoride levels of around 1ppm are safe for human health, but concentrations above 2ppm are considered excessive and need to be detected as early as possible.

Therefore, monitoring of final fluoride concentrations is absolutely essential in order to identify any overfeed problems.

Loss of chemical feed can also be detected quickly and reliably with on-line fluoride monitoring.
Does this mean that other older systems in use are not reliable?
