New Generation of In-Pipe Monitors

Intellitect Water (UK) has launched a new version of its ground breaking in-pipe water quality monitor, the Intellisonde. Tagged the ‘IV2’, “The new instrument represents a quantum leap in performance,” says Director John Howell.

The IV2 provides two major advances: firstly, calibration is now embedded in every individual sonde at the time of manufacture, which substantially reduces the time and resources required for field calibration during installation. Secondly, a new advanced chlorine sensor has been developed for greater accuracy and faster response times.

The embedded calibration is multi-point to ensure high levels of accuracy, and can be quickly and easily checked in the field. This is a major benefit because the original Intellisondes had to be calibrated in the field for all parameters as part of the installation process. In contrast, the IV2 will provide accurate data as soon as it is installed. Once the IV2 sondes have been installed correctly, no further calibration is necessary during the entire working life of the sensors.

IV2 sondes are also able to transmit data via GPRS to a web server that publishes data to a password-protected website.

Summarising the advantages of the IV2 John Howell says “Almost every aspect of the Intellisonde has been improved, making it easier to use, more accurate and even more reliable.”
