1. Drinking Water Quality Online Monitoring
Drinking water safety supervision requires continuous tracking of dissolved ion content to judge raw water pollution, treatment efficiency and pipeline secondary contamination, which is the primary application scenario of CR-GS-10.
Application Points
- Water plant full-process monitoring
Install CR-GS-10 at raw water intake, sedimentation tank outlet, filter section and finished water pipeline. Abrupt conductivity rise of raw water can warn agricultural chemical infiltration or industrial wastewater leakage; comparing conductivity before and after filtration evaluates the removal efficiency of mineral ions and impurities, ensuring finished water complies with national drinking water standards.
- Community & commercial direct drinking water equipment
Mount the sensor on RO direct drinking machines in schools, hospitals, office buildings and shopping malls. Real-time conductivity data reflects filter element aging and membrane attenuation: once effluent conductivity surges, the system triggers maintenance reminder to avoid unqualified drinking water supply.
Matching Product Advantages
- Platinum electrode features strong chemical inertness, resisting corrosion from residual chlorine in tap water and long-term stable measurement without frequent calibration;
- Compact structure with Pg13.5, G1/2A and NPT multi-thread interfaces, easy to install on small-sized commercial water dispensers and pipeline flow cells;
- Wide measuring range (0.05 μS/cm ~ 100 mS/cm) covers both low-conductivity purified water and medium-conductivity tap water.
2. Ion Exchange & Reverse Osmosis (RO) Pure Water Treatment Systems
Ion exchangers and reverse osmosis equipment are core processes for industrial pure water preparation, where conductivity is the key index to judge resin failure and RO membrane desalination performance, making CR-GS-10 an essential online monitoring component.
2.1 Ion Exchange Resin Regeneration Monitoring
Cation and anion exchange resins gradually lose ion exchange capacity during operation, accompanied by rising effluent conductivity. Install CR-GS-10 at the outlet of mixed bed/separate bed ion exchangers:
- Set conductivity threshold linkage control; when readings exceed the standard value, the system automatically starts acid-alkali regeneration program;
- Avoid manual periodic sampling detection, reduce labor cost and prevent unqualified pure water from flowing into downstream production lines.
2.2 Reverse Osmosis System Operation Control
- Monitor primary and secondary RO product water conductivity to judge membrane integrity: conductivity jump indicates membrane rupture, seal failure or scaling blockage;
- Install sensors on raw water inlet and concentrated water outlet to calculate water recovery rate, optimize dosing of scale inhibitors, reduce chemical consumption and extend membrane service life.
Matching Product Advantages
- Stable operation under 6 bar process pressure, adapting to pipeline pressure of standard RO water treatment equipment;
- Wide temperature adaptation (-5~+80°C) fits warm water circulation systems in industrial pure water workshops;
- Low overall investment cost, suitable for mass deployment on medium and small-sized pure water equipment manufacturers.
3. Aquarium & Aquaculture Water Quality Management
Household aquariums, commercial ornamental fish breeding farms and hydroponic planting facilities all rely on conductivity to control water mineralization degree, and CR-GS-10 provides economical continuous detection solutions for civilian and small aquaculture scenes.
Application Points
- Ornamental fish tank water adjustment
Different fish species have fixed adaptive mineral concentration ranges. CR-GS-10 continuously monitors water conductivity to guide regular water replacement and mineral additive dosing, avoiding fish stress or death caused by excessive or insufficient dissolved solids.
- Small-scale aquaculture & hydroponics
Deploy the sensor in indoor hydroponic vegetable planting pools and mini aquatic breeding ponds. Conductivity fluctuation reflects nutrient solution concentration change, helping growers adjust fertilizer dosage in real time to stabilize plant growth environment.
Matching Product Advantages
- Small and lightweight design, plug-type installation option without complex pipeline transformation;
- One-year warranty reduces post-maintenance cost for aquarium merchants and individual users;
- Platinum electrode resists biological adhesion of algae and aquatic microorganisms, maintaining stable measurement in long-term immersion.
4. General Laboratory & Multi-Scenario Routine Water Testing
Beyond industrial and civilian online monitoring, CR-GS-10 also serves as a universal conductivity probe for laboratory daily water analysis, matching small water quality analyzers for offline sampling measurement.
Application Points
- Lab daily pure water machine effluent detection, verifying lab-grade purified water quality for chemical, environmental and biological experiments;
- Routine sampling testing of surface water, groundwater and domestic sewage, recording conductivity changes as auxiliary pollution evaluation data;
- Teaching laboratory demonstration experiments for water quality detection courses.
Matching Product Advantages
- Dual-purpose design for online pipeline installation and offline immersion measurement;
- K=10 cell constant compatible with mainstream conductivity transmitters and lab meters on the market, convenient equipment matching and replacement;
- Robust glass electrode body with impact resistance, suitable for frequent mobile use in laboratories.
5. Universal Municipal & Light Industrial General Water Quality Inspection
CR-GS-10 can be extended to multiple light industrial and municipal auxiliary water monitoring scenarios:
- Circulating cooling water monitoring for small factories: control conductivity to adjust blowdown frequency and reduce scaling and pipeline corrosion;
- Swimming pool and spa water supervision: track total dissolved solids to assist disinfectant concentration management;
- Landscape river and community fountain water quality regular monitoring, timely reflect external pollution input.
Core Product Strengths Supporting Multi-Scenario Application
- Platinum electrode core material: Inert metal avoids oxidation and ion precipitation, long service life, minimal measurement drift after long-term underwater immersion;
- Ultra-wide measuring range: 0.05 μS/cm to 100 mS/cm covers nearly all conventional clean water and lightly polluted water measurement demands;
- Strong environmental adaptability: -5~+80°C temperature range and 6 bar pressure resistance adapt to most normal industrial and civilian water pipeline operating conditions;
- Flexible installation compatibility: Three connection modes (Pg13.5 screw head, G1/2A & 1/2"-14 NPT thread, plug connector) match various pipeline sizes and equipment interfaces;
- High cost performance: Compact integrated structure, low procurement cost, one-year full warranty, ideal for mass installation in medium and small water treatment projects.
