Guide to Reliable Water Quality Data with Semiconductor-Based Turbidity Sensors

Most water purifiers widely used in homes and offices lack real-time turbidity monitoring capabilities. While some purifiers are equipped with TDS sensors, these cannot detect bacteria, microplastics, E. coli, or mold.

As a result, many consumers still feel uncertain about the safety of their water, even when using purifiers. Just as the saying goes, "If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it," the water purification industry must prioritize solving this issue.

The importance of this monitoring extends beyond household water quality management. Recently, major European companies like Siemens, Ecolab, Suez, Veolia, and Xylem issued a joint statement to EU policymakers, warning that the lack of reliable water quality data and standardized measurement systems could undermine water resource resilience. From households to the national level, the need for precise, real-time water quality monitoring systems is becoming increasingly urgent.
