Water Monitoring

Water Monitoring

Thanks to industry leading fouling resistance and minimal sensor drift, Olpas sensors are the ideal choice for concentration measurements in challenging environments that require low maintenance and reliability.

The Olpas Watermonitoring sensor series provides a highly durable solution for water quality monitoring in challenging environments like sewers, combined sewer overflows (CSOs), and open waters.


Equipped with advanced fouling resistance and minimal sensor drift, these sensors are designed for fixed installations or mobile platforms such as boats and buoys, and can be mounted freely or within guide tubes for stability.

“Olpas watermonitoring sensors are the most economic choice when low-maintenance is required. A once-per-3-months maintenance action was enough, while our previous sensor required a once-per-week visit. The ROI of the Olpas sensor was less than 6 months!”

Maintenance Advantages & Cost Efficiency

Olpas Tentacle sensors are engineered for extended maintenance intervals, lasting up to four times longer than optical sensors. With exceptional fouling resistance and drift control the maintenance needs are minimal - even without automated cleaning mechanisms.


This resilience makes it the most cost-effective choice for sewer networks, WWTP influents, and other harsh environments.

Usage of Olpas Watermonitoring sensors

  • Monitoring Sewers and Sewer Overflows (sewage-side or nature-side)

  • Sediment runoff monitoring in canals and rivers

  • Monitoring TSS in influent for proactive WWTP adjustments

  • Ensuring compliance with discharge standards


Sensor Hardware

Olpas sensors for water monitoring are available as part of the Olpas Tentacle hardware series, consisting of a robust sensor with power&data-cable.




A communication node can be provided to collect and store the data, and to send it to a dashboard at regular intervals.


The dual-purpose Data Cable

The cable supports both power (via solar, batteries, or grid) and data transmission, ensuring reliable connectivity for continuous operation in remote or hard-to-reach locations.


Communication & Data Access

An optional communication node collects and stores data, sending updates to a dashboard at regular intervals for easy remote monitoring. The data communication uses open standards, allowing you to integrate the measurements 100% within your own systems. There is no obligation to use our software, no expensive monthly fees are required.
