Everyone assumes that water coming out of sink faucets is safe to use, safe to drink. But, is it really? Recent news stories have covered stories about towns with unsafe drinking water. Homeowners can't replace all of their home water with bottled water, so the next best thing is to monitor the water for safety and follow that up with filtering systems if necessary. The best monitoring systems are the ones designed for monitoring full time with an online connection.

How Does A Water Monitoring System work?



Water Quality Monitors are used in industry, in municipal water distribution centers, potable water treatment locations, and in homes. The size and instrumentation found in each system is selected by the end user for their individual needs. The Water quality Monitor and system are made up of a water quality panel including a 3/8 inch PVC mounting plate in the desired size, stainless steel mounting inserts to accommodate all analyzers, inlet pressure regulator, strainer, and flow-cells. The sample delivery hardware is pre-plumbed. The whole system has had a 48-hour wet working test at the factory before delivery.



The Water Quality Monitor Panels are meant to be used to establish a true baseline condition report on the final water and also to monitor and determine if each parameter is within the acceptable limits. The water quality measurement instruments is able to continuously monitor aspects such as residual disinfectant to meet compliance with the Surface Water Treatment Rule and to identify water contamination issues.



The elements used for these water monitoring panels were designed for low maintenance and long service. The panels are simple to start up because they have no moving parts and they don't involve any expensive reagents. Some of the parameters available to use on these panels include free residual chlorine, pH, ORP, Conductivity, temperature, combined residual chlorine, turbidity, particle counter, inlet pressure, sample flow rate and more.



Homeowners should first contact their municipal water supplier to check on the monitoring they use to assure safe water quality. Next the homeowner should have their water tested to see if there are water quality issues. For water that tests at acceptable levels, a home filtering system may suffice. If there are problems with the water, contacting a company such as Analytical Technology may be useful. Do they have a system for individual homes that will work. They may be able to give a homeowner valuable advice. For more information, go to the website.
