Pole Type Water Quality Monitoring Station: A Compact and Flexible Solution

The Pole type water quality monitoring station is a combination of equipment that integrates various water quality monitoring sensors into a vertical pole structure and its surrounding facilities. It can conduct real-time or timed detections on key indicators of water bodies such as water temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, and turbidity. Its equipped data acquisition system can transmit data to a remote monitoring center or cloud platform through wired or wireless communication methods, facilitating analysis and processing by staff.

Compared with traditional station building type monitoring stations, the pole type has a smaller footprint and is more flexible to install, not limited by the site. It can be easily placed in areas with limited space such as the edges of water bodies and the shores of small rivers and lakes, such as around urban landscape water bodies, solving the problem that the station building type cannot be installed due to the need for a large space to construct fixed buildings.

The construction of the station building type monitoring station involves building foundation construction, decoration, and water and electricity supporting facilities, with high costs; while the pole type mainly involves the installation of poles and related equipment, and the material and installation costs are relatively low, which can effectively save funds in simple monitoring scenarios.

Large station building type monitoring stations can accommodate more and more complex monitoring equipment and can conduct comprehensive, high-precision, laboratory-level complex multi-parameter monitoring; while the pole type usually focuses on the monitoring of conventional water quality parameters, and its functions are relatively simple, but it is sufficient to meet the needs of daily maintenance monitoring and basic water quality early warning of small water bodies.

The Pole type water quality monitoring station has a certain degree of portability and mobility. When the monitoring requirements or the surrounding environment of the water body change, it can be relatively easily disassembled and relocated to a new position for reinstallation. However, once the station building type monitoring station is built, it is difficult to move, and the moving cost is extremely high.
