An inexpensive flow cell and combination chloride electrode system is described for continuously recording the chloride concentration in effluent flowing from a soil column. The response was observed to be sufficiently fast for monitoring effluent at flow rates normally encountered in column studies of soils. Break‐through curves for three different volume “slugs” of chloride solution displaced through a column of glass beads were in close agreement with corresponding breakthrough curves obtained by argeniometric titration of aliquots collected from the same effluent.
