Water is the source of life, and the health of water environments directly affects human survival quality and sustainable development. Whether it is strict regulation of sewage discharge or the assurance of drinking water safety, an efficient and accurate monitoring system is indispensable. The water quality analyzer is precisely the core instrument in this system.
A Water Quality Analyzer/Monitor is a professional instrument specifically used for real-time or periodic analysis of water composition and content. It measures, records, and transmits key physical, chemical, and biological indicators in water through various equipped sensors.
Water quality analyzers can measure numerous parameters. The core indicators include:
Conventional indicators: pH value, conductivity/salinity/TDS, dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity, temperature.
Pollution indicators: chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, etc.

Water quality analyzers play a far-reaching role in modern water environment monitoring. They are not only technical tools but also important strategic supports for safeguarding social stability and public health.
Elevating regulatory precision and efficiency: Achieving high-precision, continuous, real-time online monitoring of water quality, greatly enhancing the response speed and decision-making capability of regulatory authorities in managing river basins and water source areas.
Building water quality early warning systems: Using real-time data, water quality monitoring and early warning systems can be established, which have significant practical importance for urban water supply safety and the prevention and response to sudden pollution incidents.

The following are answers to common questions about water quality analyzers and NiuBoL products to help users better understand and use them.
| Q:Common Questions | A:NiuBoL Answers and Recommendations |
|---|---|
| 1.Why do water quality analyzers need multi-parameter integration? | Multi-parameter integration allows multiple data points to be obtained at one installation point, saving space, installation, and maintenance costs, and facilitating correlation analysis between data. NiuBoL products support multi-sensor integration, achieving one-stop monitoring (e.g., pH, DO, NH4-N, conductivity). |
| 2.How to understand the “RS-485 (Modbus/RTU)” output mode? | This is a commonly used industrial communication standard. It means the analyzer can be easily and stably connected to PLCs, data collectors, or host systems—the foundation for smart IoT implementation. All NiuBoL sensors adopt this standard output and are easily integrated into existing smart water platforms. |
| 3.What principles do ammonia nitrogen (NH4-N) and dissolved oxygen (DO) sensors use? | Ammonia nitrogen sensor adopts ion-selective electrode method (ISE); dissolved oxygen sensor adopts fluorescence quenching method. Fluorescence DO is maintenance-free, fast-response, and more stable than traditional electrochemical methods. ISE ammonia nitrogen sensor has a long lifespan advantage. |
| 4.What does the sensor protection rating IP68 mean? | IP68 is one of the highest protection ratings. It means the device can be submerged in water for long periods and is completely dust-proof, ensuring reliable long-term operation underwater. NiuBoL sensors (e.g., NBL-PHG-106) all reach IP68 rating, suitable for submersible installation. |
| 5.How often do sensors need maintenance and calibration? | Maintenance and calibration cycles depend on water quality conditions. General recommendation: clean electrodes monthly and calibrate quarterly. NiuBoL recommends: ammonia nitrogen and pH sensors be calibrated every three months. Cleaning frequency can be adjusted based on site water quality. |
| 6.Why do dissolved oxygen sensors need temperature compensation? | The solubility of dissolved oxygen in water varies with temperature and salinity.
