Read More5 Key Features to Look for in a Multiparameter Sonde
Before multiparameter sondes, water monitoring professionals carried a number of single sensor meters, colorimeter kits and a secchi disk to the field. Water quality data was manually gathered, archived and managed. Sondes have became a preferred technique; both for spot-checking, profile applications and unattended continuous recorders. Until recently, the thrust of sonde innovation centered on…
Read MoreThe True Cost of Water Loss: It’s Not Just Non-Revenue Water (NRW)
Every day, water utilities face pressure to minimize operational and capital expenses but still meet ever-increasing demand. With rate increases as rare as they are unpopular, cost remains the primary target. One big cost for most water utilities is water loss or “non-revenue water (NRW).” All water entering a distribution system is either “accounted for” consumption, or…
Read MoreThe Key to Efficient Chlorine Disinfection: pH
Many systems rely on chlorine to make sure the water is safe from biological contaminants. If you are testing chlorine in your drinking water system, the question of how much free chlorine and how much total chlorine comes up. Some terms to know: Free Chlorine – this is the form of chlorine that is most…
Read MoreOpen channel flow measurement techniques
NO FLUME, NO WEIR, NO PROBLEM Arguably, the most important measurement taken in and around water/wastewater systems is flow. In open channel applications, the most common flow measurement technique is through Primary/Secondary devices. Primary devices include flumes and weirs that create a reliable relationship between water level and flow rate; in the form of a…

Read MorePlasti-Fab Engineered Composite Flow Control Gates . . . . . There Is a Difference!
Article courtesy of Mike Keegan with Plasti-Fab, Inc. Referring to a Plasti-Fab gate or stop log as FIBERGLASS is like stating a Porsche Carrera GT is just a CAR. They both might fit the basic definition, but that is where the similarities end! Conventional fiberglass molding and fabrication techniques (spray-up or chopper gun processing) are…
