In 2003 Waltron celebrated its 100th anniversary as one of the world's oldest, most experienced water chemistry companies. We were started in 1903 by chemists who introduced drinking water chlorination to a range of clients before the first city-wide chlorination system in the US was installed. Since then we have been at the forefront of many technical innovations including: \r\nThe first modern boiler water treatment \r\nThe first successful chemical treatment of large land-based desalination plants \r\nUltraviolet drinking water purifiers whose performance resulted in the first acceptance of UV by the US Public Health Service \r\nThe first widely used oil pollution monitor \r\nManagement of the first nuclear water chemistry program on a commercial ship \r\nA founder of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) \r\nA founder of the American Council of Independent Laboratories \r\nIn 1991 Waltron divided into three companies of which one was sold through an asset purchase agreement in December 2006. The remaining entities are:\r\n\r\nWaltron, Whitehouse NJ: manufacturer of water quality instruments for ultrapure water applications and potable water chlorinators for military field applications \r\n \r\nHedges & Brother, Washington NJ: manufacturer of valves, strainers and instrument components. \r\nThe tradition of constant innovation continues at Waltron as we enter our second century with several new products in development. Waltron will continue to be dedicated to providing the most;\r\n\r\nReliable \r\nLow maintenance \r\nLow Cost of Ownership \r\nanalyzers in the on-line water analysis market. We provide instrumentation packages for the measurement and control of dissolved oxygen, hydrazine, sodium, silica, phosphate, fluoride, ammonia and copper. Whatever the package, whatever the application, Waltron offers the most reliable source of water chemistry management. \r\n\r\n\r\n
