The benefits of the HydroMetrics sensor
Types of HydroMetrics sensors available for purchase
HydroMetrics GW50 Nitrate Sensor
The base GW50 groundwater optical sensor. It is generally designed for installation in a bore with internal diameter of 50mm or greater. For maximum accuracy, groundwater must be low in turbidity and with limited dissolved organic carbon.
HydroMetrics GW50PC Sensor Pump Cleaner
Biological activity in groundwater can create biofilms on the measurement cell of the GW50 sensors. Testing has shown that a water jet can be an effective method for cleaning the sensor resulting in significant reduction in the need for manual cleaning in most cases. We have conducted tests where sensors that required monthly cleaning have been left 12 months with no biofilm build up.
HydroMetrics GW50FC Sensor Flow Cell
Occasionally there are situations where a suitable bore is not available to install a GW50 or GW50PC nitrate sensor. To circumnavigate these issues, the GW50FC nitrate sensor model has been created. Water can be pumped from the groundwater well and piped through to the GW50FC sensor.
Speed of access is important and connectivity is key to data access
HydroMetrics sensors integrate easily with third party loggers and existing telemetry systems. When connected, data can be accessed anytime from anywhere on all portable devices including cell phones, tablets and computers. For those that do not wish to use the telemetry option, you can use internal data logging for standalone applications.
