Water & wastewater
- Overview
Drinking water is a valuable foodstuff. The treatment of wastewater is just as important a task as the monitoring of drinking water supplies. WHsensors provides the instrumentation for level and pressure – perfectly adapted to the requirements of the water/wastewater sector.
Water service is one of the most critical functions of any community. Much is at stake, from the health and safety of the community to the functioning of business. People depend on clean, fresh water every time they open the tap. But it's no easy task. Filtration, pressure, flow and level all require precise, continuous monitoring and control. At the same time, instruments must overcome corrosive medium, effluents, solids, vibration and pulsation to constantly provide accurate measurements that prevent shutdowns and dangerous conditions.
At WHsensors, our goal is to ensure safe, reliable process operation. That's why we've developed unique solutions for the Water and Waste-water industry that proactively avert problems and comply with regulatory standards. Our diaphragm seal and isolation rings safeguard critical instruments against concentrated fluoride, chlorine, ozone and many other aggressive media. An WHsensors rangeable transmitter is ideal for water tower measurement. Easy adjustment allows the transmitter to output a precisely scaled flow while eliminating unwanted fluid head pressure from the reading.
You provide an essential service. The community depends on you in a big way. At WHsensors, we appreciate the gravity of your job and the challenges that stand in your way. Our case team has decades of experience in this industry and are ready to help you find the perfect solution to your application.

Water Compatibility
A pressure sensing element will come in contact with varying pH levels, depending on the type of water, chemicals added and the quality of the water purification process. WHsensors packages pressure sensors using High Technology?and our one piece, 316L stainless steel sensing element. 316L SS offers excellent media compatibility for residential and commercial water applications . For applications such as salt water in water maker equipment,?. The sensor diaphragm and fitting are all manufactured by machining the same piece of metal with no welds or O-rings.
Water Hammer
The opening and closing of valves in a system can cause a pressure transient within a water pump above the measurement range in a shock-wave. WHsensors installs an internal, stainless steel restrictor plug. This reduces the inside diameter hole to 0.040." By reducing the ID, the pressure spike hits the face of the snubber and feeds through the hole at a slower pace. The plug, also termed snubber, dampens the spike to continue sensor operation.
Environment
Rain, ice, dust, and pressure washers can cause water to seep into sensor housings and cause the electronics to short. WHsensors offers sealed gauge reference pressure sensors to protect the electronics from these conditions.
Electrical Isolation
Improper grounding and lightning strikes can cause electrical failures of pressure sensors, as a result of isolation failure. WHsensors can include custom electronics and a sensing element to withstand 220VDC isolation to work in extreme electrical conditions
Output Signal
Depending on distance and environment, certain output signals can experience signal loss or generate noisy signals. WHsensors recommends 4-20mA output signals for transmission lengths greater than 15 feet in environments with electrical noise.
