In this blog article, you will learn how the measuring panel meets the need for safety with its sophisticated design and reliable measurements.
Safety through accuracy: The new drinking water measuring panel ensures reliable measurements and early problem detection.
Safety comes first when it comes to drinking water values. Xylem Analytics has developed a new drinking water measuring panel under the WTW brand that ensures good water quality and enables potential problems to be identified at an early stage. With high-precision sensors and state-of-the-art technology, the measuring panel delivers accurate and reliable results.
Black flow cells and maintenance station
Optimum measurement accuracy and long-term stability
The black flow cells, among other things, prevent the sensors from being affected by light and algae growth. To maintain the accuracy of the measurement results over the lifetime of the instrument, it is important to perform regular maintenance, adjustment and calibration. This can be done either directly at the panel or in the laboratory, depending on site conditions and customer preference. There are specific calibration procedures for pH using buffer solutions.
Verification of measurement accuracy with reference samples
Sampling tap directly at the measuring point
An important method of verifying accuracy is the use of a reference sample. Ideally, this reference sample should be taken as close as possible to the sampling point to ensure that it is exposed to the same conditions as the water measured in the flow-through cells. For this purpose, there is a sampling tap on the panel from which the water can be taken as close as possible to the sensor, directly into the beaker, without interrupting the measurement. A more comparable reference measurement to the water measurement in the flow cell is hardly possible! This gives waterworks managers the confidence that the drinking water meets the required standards and is safe for distribution into the drinking water network.
Reliable measurement is ensured by various factors, including:
Durable products:
Xylem Analytics offers durable measurement panels that are made of high-quality materials and have a long service life. This means you can count on accurate and reliable measurements without having to constantly replace spare parts.
Availability and short delivery times for consumables:
In the event of loss or damage, we offer well-designed spare and replacement kits so that you have everything you need immediately to hand. This ensures that consumables such as measuring chains or sensor caps are available to you quickly. This allows you to carry out your measurements continuously without having to wait long for spare parts.
Contact persons in your area:
Xylem Analytics has a worldwide network of distributors and service technicians available to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have. You can be sure that we have a local contact near you who can help you quickly with questions and concerns to ensure that your measurements are reliable.
WTW Drinking Water Panel DW/P IR-Cl-3
More safety and comfort
Occupational safety is also an important aspect that should not be neglected. Thanks to the prefabricated panel and the resulting quick commissioning on site, your employees are protected from possible accidents during installation, for example due to too many drill holes. In addition, the measuring panel is designed with coordinated hose lengths and stowed cables so that there is no risk of tripping.
The clear display and clear presentation of the measured values on the integrated IQ Sensor Net system enables easy interpretation of the results and early detection of possible deviations. This increases safety, as potential problems can be detected and rectified immediately. This also helps to ensure that the required standards are met and guarantees the safe distribution of drinking water into the drinking water network.
Summary
At a time when safety through reliable measurement technology is becoming increasingly important, the WTW Drinking Water Panel is an example of this. With its precise measurement results, it is an asset to any waterworks that is concerned about the safety and quality of its drinking water.
