Editor's Note: Innovation was a big theme at WEFTEC 2014. We'll be featuring a few of the new and better technologies found in the exhibit hall at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. Watch each day for the Innovation logo to learn more about new products displayed at the clean-water industry’s flagship exhibition and conference.

YSI (a Xylem brand) offered hand-held meters that facilitate fast collection of water-quality data. The meters provide flexibility for measuring parameters including dissolved oxygen, conductivity, specific conductance, salinity, resistivity, total dissolved solids, pH, ORP, pH/ORP combination, ammonium, nitrate, chloride, turbidity and temperature.

The EcoSense ODO200 is the first hand-held instrument to deliver the brand’s optical DO probe technology in the economical YSI EcoSense package. The Pro10 and Pro1020, basic meters for the wastewater market, are versatile and withstand harsh environments. Both measure pH and ORP, and the Pro1020 also measures DO. The multiparameter YSI ProDSS digital hand-held unit adds turbidity measurement as an option. It incorporates smart sensor technology, universal ports and a color display.
