The NKE Aquaprobe AP-7000 Water Monitoring Probe is designed for long term deployment, utilizing a central cleaning system to keep the fitted sensors clean, reducing the effects of bio-fouling common in extended deployments. The probe comes with all of our standard parameters including optical dissolved oxygen, it also features 6 user configurable auxiliary sockets allowing you to add multiple specialist sensors to the probe. The NKE Aquaprobe-7000 Water Monitoring Probe is capable of measuring up to 17 individual parameters at once.
The NKE AM-200 GPS Aquameter is the original handheld water quality meter with built-in GPS. The built-in GPS receiver allows the meter to record the location of every dataset, meaning you will always know where your data was captured. The meter is designed to be picked up and used by anyone intuitively. It requires no boot-up or warm-up time and allows you to record data with a single button press.

- The AP-7000 features 6 Auxiliary sockets to allow you to add further sensors to the probe. The sockets are completely unrestricted, so you can fit the probe with any combination of our ion-selective or optical sensors.
- The AP-7000 can be used with a variety of cable lengths via the AquaConn Connectors. Cables available in 3, 10, 20, and 30m lengths as standard.
- The AP-7000 is fitted with a central self-cleaning system. The brush, which sits in its home position, will rotate and wipe each of the sensor faces clean multiple times per cleaning cycle. This level of cleaning maximises the duration that the probe can be left unmanned for.
Each sensor serves a unique purpose, and so is unique in its function and composition — but all are made with high-quality, durable materials that allow you to measure accurately, time and time again.
If you’re not sure what water quality testing sensor you need, do feel free to contact us to discuss your specific requirements..
Some of our most commonly-used sensors include:
- pH — to measure water acidity
- Temperature — to measure temperatures between -5 and +50°C
- EC — Electrical Conductivity — to measure the concentration of salts
- Turbidity — to measure water clarity impacted by the presence of suspended particles
- DO — Dissolved Oxygen — to measure the level of oxygen in the water

Even if you will be using your Aquaprobe with an AquaLogger or other device, you will still need a GPS Aquameter. The meter gives you real-time readings via the display, which are useful when deploying your logging system, as it allows you to check that the parameters are all reading ok.

- Cleans every sensor installed. The central cleaning arm of the AP-7000 consists of a rotating set of brushes that clean all of the connected sensors, including the EC sensor located on the side of the optical DO probe.
- The main brush, that resides in the home position, cleans each of the sensors multiple times before moving on to the next. When it returns to the home position it also cleans itself by scraping the brush against the sharp edges of the home position.
- Cleaning the sensors regularly in this way can increase the deployment duration substantially, even in demanding environments.
- Inevitably human interaction will be required for calibration and a more thorough clean, even the brushes will become fouled eventually. So with this in mind we have ensured that the maintenance of the cleaning system is extremely quick, simple and cost effective.
- Simple brush replacement. As part of the routine maintenance of the AP-7000 the cleaning brushes need to be replaced.
- This is a very quick job that can be performed as the probe is cleaned prior to calibration. Once the cleaning arm is slid out, the brushes can be removed and replaced as shown.
- The NKE Aquaprobe-7000 Water Monitoring Probe has six auxiliary sockets.
- These sockets are completely unrestricted meaning you can install any combination of our wide range of ion selective and optical sensors available such as ammonium, nitrate turbidity and chlorophyll to name a few. When fully loaded the AP-7000 can measure up to 17 parameters at once!
