Selection of electrodes for detecting heat exchanger leaks

What kind of electrodes are used to detect leaks in this case? PH, ORP, or conductivity electrode – which one would be better? Which is better for detecting liquid chlorine leaks in ethylene glycol aqueous solutions?
I use ORP for testing here; what do everyone else use?
I consulted Mettler today; if desalinated water is used for cooling, it is recommended to use conductivity, as this reduces maintenance needs and provides rapid responses. If it’s not desalinated water, then pH is still the only option.
