Waterwatch Equipment
Waterwatch Volunteers in the Southern ACT Catchment test water samples in the Murrumbidgee and the rivers, creeks and stormwater drains that feed it regularly, mostly monthly. They test for water temperature, turbidity, electrical conductivity, pH, dissolved Oxygen level and orthophosphate in line with the guidelines in Module 4 of the National Waterwatch Manual http://www.waterwatch.org.au/publications/module4/index.html and following the manufacturer's directions.
Here are links to the instruction manuals of the most commonly used meters, and instructions for the test kits:
