Measuring Multiple Temperature Points Inside Water Tanks, Reservoirs and Storage Tanks
Ever wondered what happens inside water storage tanks during the summer? @paxwater #water

Operators and water systems have been using different technologies and tank mixers to maintain the highest quality drinking water in water towers, reservoirs and storage tanks. Tank mixers and aeration can help with disinfection byproduct (DBP) removal and disinfectant control. You know thermal stratification exists in your tank but what if you wanted to know the realtime temperatures at several points inside your water tank or reservoir?
We wondered what affordable solution was availabe to monitor water tower temperature and we found a good water tank temperature solution from Nivelco. The Nivelco THERMOPOINT can monitor temperatures in water towers, water tanks and reservoirs up to 100′ in depth. The Nivelco THERMOPOINT is multipoint temperature measurement system with ultimate flexibility and communication options.
