Advanced Multiparameter Sondes for Smart Water Monitoring
Advanced Multiparameter Sondes for Integrated Water Quality Monitoring
Multiparameter sondes are essential tools for comprehensive water quality monitoring across natural, municipal, and industrial water systems. These devices integrate multiple sensors into a single probe, allowing simultaneous measurement of physical, chemical, and biological parameters—such as pH, turbidity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and more. Designed for both short-term field sampling and long-term deployments, they offer high-resolution data, minimal maintenance, and robust performance in harsh aquatic environments.
Water Quality Instruments, a B2B provider serving clients across North America, delivers a curated line of multiparameter sondes that combine hardware durability, software intelligence, and cloud-based connectivity. Through continuous innovation, deep industry knowledge, and collaboration with strategic partners, we help businesses make faster, more informed water management decisions. Our sondes are ideal for research, compliance, and environmental stewardship, enabling operations to scale efficiently while maintaining data accuracy and system integrity.

Case Studies
Canada – Mississauga, Ontario
A wastewater treatment facility utilized cloud-connected multiparameter sondes to enhance compliance reporting. Automated data logging reduced manual sampling efforts by 60% and enabled predictive maintenance for aeration systems, improving operational efficiency and environmental outcomes.
Milwaukee, WI (USA)
In a watershed protection project, multiparameter sondes were installed to continuously track dissolved oxygen, temperature, and pH. Data was used to detect early signs of algal blooms and implement timely mitigation strategies, ensuring ecological stability during summer months.
USA – Sacramento, California
A municipal wastewater treatment facility adopted online BOD analyzers to better manage inflow variability. By receiving real-time oxygen demand data, operators improved aeration
