Rugged and Reliable Instrumentation For Over 50 Years
About Us
AquaMetrix has been manufacturing state-of-the-art, durable and cost effective water quality analysis equipment for over 50 years. Its roots date back to the differential pH/ORP sensor that was developed for the Canadian market from the original Great Lakes patent. Over the years the company has added sensors for pH, ORP, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and flow. Two generations of controllers cemented the AquaMetrix reputation as the manufacturer of instrumentation for the harshest of environments.
In 2010 AquaMetrix changed ownership and moved to the United States as the sole product line of the newly formed Water Analytics name. Under this new ownership AquaMetrix continues to add instrumentation that exemplifies the hallmark characteristics of durability, precision and simplicity.
Aquametrix products are used extensively in the following industries:
• Municipal Water Treatment
• Municipal Sewage Treatment
• Industrial Water Treatment (Reverse Osmosis, De-ionization, Desalination)
• Industrial Waste Water Processing
• Plating
• Food and Beverage Processing and Manufacturing
• Pulp and Paper
• Chemical Manufacturing
• Mining
• Fume Scrubbers
AquaMetrix products are distributed around the world through a network of stocking distributors.
What Makes AquaMetrix Special?
The development of the differential electrode changed pH and ORP measurements forever. By splitting the reference and sampling electrode and referencing each to a third common (titanium) ground loop errors were eliminated and the reference electrode could be rejuvenated indefinitely. As the Canadian licensee of this technology Lisle-Metrix pH and ORP probes became the wastewater industry standard for rugged, precise and long-lived probes. Water Analytics continues to make these probes with updated circuitry, components and electrodes and the differential pH and ORP probe continues to be the one probe that industry uses when, as one user put it, “nothing else works.”
The legendary status of the AquaMetrix differential probe is the benchmark by which all of our sensors are manufactured. Nothing gets the AquaMetrix label unless we are satisfied that it will stand up to abuses in water that other products cannot. Our conductivity probes provide the widest range of conductivity range on the market and the new AS series raises the level of ruggedness one notch higher. Our dissolved oxygen analyzers are still going strong after years of use in dirty aeration basins with only a yearly membrane replacement.
The Shark controller and Shark TX transmitter embody the principle of simplicity. Whereas most manufacturers have several controllers to host different sensors we have only one controller that can operate as a pH, ORP, conductivity or flow analyzer. Menu operation is simplified so that any operator, regardless of technical expertise, can operate the controller’s or transmitter’s basic functions.
Water Analytics will never make a “me too” product. Every sensor and every analyzer that makes it to the marketplace is a world class leader. Everything you see in our catalog is best in class when it comes to durability, value and simplicity.
The AquaMetrix Story
AquaMetrix products have been manufactured for more than five decades. The original manufacturer, Lisle-Metrix, was licensed to build GLI (Great Lakes Instruments) products for the Canadian market. GLI sensors and controllers earned their place as some of the most rugged and reliable water analysis equipment in the market place. Following the signing of NAFTA in 1992, Lisle-Metrix expanded to provide products for the global market under its own name. In 1998, Lisle-Metrix became AquaMetrix, and in 2010, the company became the foundation for Water Analytics, Inc.
Throughout the changes in both ownership and name, the original sensors and controllers, that have been known for their quality, have continued to be made to be interchangeable with their GLI precursors. A steady stream of improvements have made them even better, while a suite of new products have grown to supply even more options to the water treatment industry. Water Analytics continues to build AquaMetrix sensors and controllers to even more exacting standards and to incorporate changes that make them all the more rugged and more reliable. We will continue to strive to ensure that AquaMetrix products are both the most dependable in the marketplace and priced to represent the best value as well.
