Dear readers,
Our latest newsletter is all about smart water quality monitoring:
Whether it‘s in a private pool, hotel facilities, animal husbandry, or technical water systems—stable water quality is crucial for safety, comfort, and longevity. Our KNX water quality sensor continuously measures pH value, redox potential (ORP), and water temperature, integrating the data directly into your building automation system.
The result: reliable monitoring, automatic control of dosing systems, and optimized maintenance.
Why is Water Quality So Important – And What‘s Measured?
Water quality determines whether a system can operate safely and durably. Two parameters are particularly relevant:
• pH value: Indicates how acidic or basic the water is. A stable pH value is crucial for the effectiveness of disinfectants, the protection of technical components, and the well-being of humans and animals.
• Redox potential (ORP): Shows the water‘s ability to oxidize organic contaminants – for example, to neutralize germs and bacteria. A stable ORP value is a reliable indicator of disinfection performance.
Continuously measuring and precisely controlling both values ensures stable conditions – and prevents common problems like algae growth, corrosion, cloudy water, or excessive chemical use.
New: KNX Sensor with Integrated Display
The latest generation of our water quality sensor features an integrated display – for greater transparency directly on-site:
• Real-time display of current pH, ORP and temperature values on the device.
• On-sensor calibration.
IP54 housing for use in humid or demanding environments.
Typical Applications
Our sensor is suitable for a wide range of applications—anywhere water quality needs to be reliably monitored and controlled:
• Private Pools and Hot Tubs: Automatic control for clear, hygienic water.
• Hotels and Wellness Areas: Reliable water values in swimming pools, saunas, and spa facilities.
• Aquariums, Zoos, and Water Management: Protecting animals, plants, and equipment through stable water conditions.
• Commercial and Industrial Facilities: Preventing corrosion or deposits through precise pH and ORP regulation.
Why KNX for Water Quality Monitoring?
Traditional water monitoring systems often operate in isolation. Our KNX sensor integrates directly into your existing building automation system, offering greater efficiency and convenience:
• Direct integration of live measurements into the KNX system.
• Automated control of dosing systems, valves, or other components.
• Centralized visualization and alarming for threshold breaches.
• Linking with other building automation functions, such as time control, scenes, or heating regulation.
