DWQM, Water Quality Monitor

The TSK Water Quality Monitor System consists of a multi-parameter underwater probe, a winch, and a controller. The winch is used to raise and lower the probe to pre-determined depths.

Fully automatic operation can periodically profile, can be set to fixed depths, and can be set to change sampling depths depending on the environmental conditions sensed by the probe.

This flexibility maximizes the value of the data collection effort.
