General Information
Aquaread AP-Lite Quality Water is a simple probe with a single optical socket. This socket is able to house any of our optical electrodes, including turbidity and chlorophyll. A temperature sensor is also included on the probe. The AP-LITE package includes our rugged 3m cable, our GPS Aquameter, a range of accessories and a rugged carry case.
Whether you require a turbidity meter or handheld device for the measurement of Blue Green Algae in reservoirs, the AP-LITE is the portable water quality meter for you. Sometimes multi-parameter measurement is not required, however the flexibility to change sensors is. Our AP-LITE solves this with its single parameter, removable sensor design. Simply remove your current sensor, install the new sensor and calibrate, you are then ready to take measurements.
