Multiparameter & Sonde in Drinking Water

Multiparameter & Sonde in Drinking Water

Drinking water facilities are required to monitor source and process water per regulations set forth by the EPA and comparable regulatory bodies worldwide. Measuring sites include groundwater wells, boreholes, and directly into the source water. Depending on the location of the facility, specific contaminants and parameters must be monitored continuously to ensure proper treatment. AlpHa’s multiparameter sensor & sonde enable drinking water facilities to monitor several parameters in source and process water simultaneously. Thus, improving efficiency, safety, and quality of drinking water treatment systems to ensure that local standards are met.

Features of AlpHa’s Multiparameter & Sonde for Drinking Water Facilities

At AlpHa, our multiparameter & sonde don’t just provide accurate and real-time measurements, they offer several communication and connection options. Hence, they are capable of providing alerts to operators, driving treatment strategies, and maintenance needs.

Common parameters configured in our sensor & sonde for drinking water quality data include pH, ORP, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, temperature, and various ion-selective electrodes. Ion-selective electrodes, such as nitrate and ammonium, can also be added based on the known or anticipated impurities in the source water. The sections below highlight other features of our multiparameter sensor & sonde.
