Definitely on the newer systems anyway. Last ones I did we installed the sensor on the tank outlet. It was automated to add water to the tank when pH hit a certain point. And alarm if it continued past acceptable levels.

Aside from being the dirtiest lab I have ever seen face mask is a must acid proof is a must. Your eys may survive a splash with those glasses, anyone in the know wheres a shield when working with corrosives, in the work place it is the law.
I have to address your earlier comment about Aprons being made of lead and are to heavy to wear. This points directly to your knowledge and Skill of the trade.
1. Aprons for working with acid are made of Vinyl or Rubber, not Lead Einstein, I will likely be the first to tell you that your the butt end of some ones Joke, Lead aprons are for Radiation, NOT Corrosives.
I am guessing your Scalp hair nose cheeks ears neck are all acid proof?
You can do whatever you want but ignorance is no excuse for putting this material up in the first place.
I don't even see evidence of eyewash devices, or showers, Or even paper towels in the ####in paper towel dispenser, no signage on the wall. I love the hand soap that's a must for washing hands.
Your workspace is a travesty of lab etiquette, I am sure anyone who works in a LAB passed out when they saw what you were doing and where and with such lack of safety gear.
If I ever tour your facility I will know who you are, The guy with the eyes and all the scar tissue.
So next safety meeting your company has bring these pictures in.
By the way, there is evidence that sulfuric acid Vapors are carcinogenic to humans, that's why normal smart people where resperators, not you though you say its perfectly fine, Alrighty Then!!
Keep on Rocking in your own little world Buddy.
Here are some pics for you to absorb

- right in the middle of b.c.
here is a bigger problem , it is my understanding that it isn't just pure lead in battery's , but rather a alloy of sorts ...... and after you manage to melt that mess into ingots it is still a alloy ,and it is still very dangerous.....
this is how I understand it to still be dangerous .
someone gets their hands on what they think is pure lead ingots , and melts them down to make bullets .
what happens is the other substances / metals added to the lead are now going to be released , and more than likely they are not expecting , nor protecting themselves against an onslaught of toxic crap that is going to be released from the melting pot .

That's funny, Lab work is cool but I only talk to the ladies that work in it 
baw chicka bawa.
The OP seems totally ignorant of what he is doing, he will have to wait for the Golden years to eat his words likely.
I work in likely one of the heaviest regulated industry in the world, I am a Technician but I do not work in the Lab. And been on the Job for more than 22 years.
I have been literally across the globe working with other Countries government projects. I know the Jargon, and I know the equipment, and I know that this guy is a ####ing ignorant danger to himself and the people he works with.
Any Jobsite that had the proper equipment inplace to meet the safety setbacks would eject the OP with extreme prejudice, except for maybe Bubbas Shrimp Boat and Battery recycling bidness, were we has everything ya'll need.

Reading comprehension issues? Dude!
On another subject: Lead aprons are indeed the most efficient ways of protecting your private parts from X-rays and not likely to be replaced with something else for the foreseeable future... Problem is - doctor offices / radiation technicians are usually a little unhappy if you try to walk off while still wearing one of their aprons
I was responding to antiqueguy's post right above mine where we were speaking of alternate sources of lead and he speaks about lead still being used in doctors' offices to guard from radiation. Where am I saying they are too heavy to work in the lab in?
I get the distinct impression you are butthurt. I'm not sure why, but that's ok
This was not a report of safety conditions in the lab, so sorry, I know you wanted to see pictures of fume hoods and burn showers and eye washing stations. We even have extinguishers, imagine that, and they have inspection tags - I'm sure you'd want to see those too? Sorry to disappoint, you'll have to continue using google image search or what not to get your fill of lab ####. Ok, I'll give you this bit - our extinguishers are big and shiny.
Glassware needs to be clean, tables and fume hoods tend to become dirty every now and again. Then they get cleaned. Methinks you've never been in a real lab
...Well, since you say so on a gun forum you must know what you are talking about. All bow to GTADragon!
<sigh> Do you cast bullets yourself? Where does your lead come from? A recycler? You trust them that there's no arsenic or cadmium in there? Or are you going to cast with good ventilation and in a respirator? Guys, use your heads. (Most of the bad stuff that would evaporate on the second melting would be gone on the first melting. Logical.) Naturally when you buy lead you are just going to stick your face in the meting pot and sniff for that sweet smell of roses? Do that and no number of faceshields, condoms or aprons would save you. Treat all lead the same, take the same precautions and you are going to be fine.

Well you seem to be defending your post a lot, must be full of bull ####.
You say all the bad stuff evaporates but still no respirator to be seen.
A face shield will save you when you drop a 70lb battery on the floor and it explodes in your face.
not to mention when people carry that battery they tend to hold it close to there belly often leading to burns on the mid section, but you don't need protection your belly is mad of pure Meth amphetamine.
Seems to me your whole ####ing post is a piece of useless #### because you can buy lead super cheap.
Sorry man your an idiot.

<sigh> Do you cast bullets yourself?... Yes I do thanks.
I buy 8lbs for $24 dollars that's a lot of slugs and bullets and fishing weights.
I buy Clean lead, It is very important to keep elements like Calcium out of the mix. The only way to do this is to have assayed materials. The Antimony is another important part of the mix that is all most impossible to properly mix with lead in a DIY situation. So your dyeing slowly, while I am still alright... Because... Follow this...
You say Most of the bad stuff that would evaporate on the second melting would be gone on the first melting. Logical...
Oh really Cadmium has a higher boiling point than lead. What kind of bath Salts are you after the good stuff or the other good stuff, your an old-timer that is propagating madness.
Then you said, Naturally when you buy lead you are just going to stick your face in the meting pot and sniff for that sweet smell of roses? Do that and no number of faceshields, condoms or aprons would save you.
Why in mother####in hell would you stick your face in a bucket of molten lead, maybe in your house this is normal prolly judging from your original post. Enter the respirator, glad you see the need for at least a resperator, just incase you thought distance is safe... consider this... have you ever driven behind a smoker in traffic and smelled there smoke.
Nuff said... you need a respirator when you smelt any alloys.
Your a moron and an idiot and a Dead man if you consider this safe without training and proper PPE

I keep writing because you are funny, mr. literally across the globe.
I repeat for the umpteenth time - we are not melting in this demo - just extracting.
You are upset that I'm not taking you seriously - and your sarcasm detector is broken. SMH. So, discalimer - I'm not suggesting sticking your face into melting lead, I'm saying that doing that with 'clean' lead is no different than with 'omg, scary, dirty' lead. Next you'll tell me that your 'clean' lead is good for the environment?
You have the pictures. What's there is there. It does not mean that the stuff not in the pictures (fume hoods, etc) is missing nor does it mean the stuff not in the pictures (carrying close to the body, stuffed gorilla in the corner, crystal meth) is there. At a guess it's a 50lb battery (just a tad over the weight of a regular 45lb plate). You are projecting (yes, what we complain the antis do all the time) - not everyone is going to be doing stupid things just because you would.

you have been educated, your welcome
<I know, I know, I shouldn't but it's too good to resist> Yes, I have been educated and I am educated - that's how I know the difference between 'your' and 'you're' (using a possessive is wrong in this case, just in case I need to explain)
There's no way for you to demonstrate your credibility via written communication. So use proper grammar - it helps. Maybe that's why you are hard to take seriously. You're welcome Mr edumacated globe-trotting technician Love ya anyway

Megalomania
This article is about a condition relating to grandiosity. For other uses, see Megalomania (disambiguation).
1857 lithograph by Armand Gautier, showing personifications of dementia, megalomania, acute mania, melancholia, idiocy, hallucination, erotomania and paralysis in the gardens of the Hospice de la Salpêtrière.
Megalomania is a psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of power, relevance, omnipotence, and by inflated self-esteem.[1] Historically it was used as an old name for narcissistic personality disorder prior to the latter's first use by Heinz Kohut in 1968, and is used today as a non-clinical equivalent.[2][3] It is not mentioned in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)[4] or the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD).
And can be brought on by smelting lead.
From huge old batteries from the dump.
someone had to say it.
PROPS in every way shape and form.
