Product Service

Multiparameter sensor instruments provide reliable data for baseline water quality and flow studies.

Continuous water quality monitoring keeps you one step ahead of harmful algal blooms, sediment plumes, and low dissolved oxygen events.

“Across the country, volunteers monitor the condition of streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, coastal waters, wetlands and wells, producing reliable and valuable data for groups to better assess the ecological health of our rivers. YSI meters and equipment have provided an important and effective tool for this growing citizen’s volunteer monitoring movement during the past two decades. We appreciate YSI’s support of local monitoring efforts and surmise that the fish and wildlife appreciate this support even more”. Steve Dickens, Health & Environment Director, River Network
