First GPRS drinking water monitors

INTELLITECT WATER (UK) has recently delivered the first real-time, in-pipe water quality monitors to customers in both the UK and overseas.

Intellitect’s Chief Executive, Tony Halker, says: "This is a very significant milestone for the business; the Intellisonde™ monitors have internal dataloggers which enable them to record water quality and flow data continuously. However, the addition of GPRS puts the product in a league of its own; Water Companies can now access continuous data remotely which enables them to improve network modelling and to gain a better understanding of water quality at the point of delivery. Water Companies will now be able to take a proactive approach, using data to continuously refine and improve operational efficiency, water quality and customer satisfaction."   Up to 12 different measurands are available on each Intellisonde™ from sensors mounted inside a tiny sonde head that fits in the pipeline through a 1½ inch valve. Parameters include a Patented, robust, highly accurate solid-state chlorine sensor that can monitor continuously for up to 6 months without recalibration.
