Suspended particles and colloids in water, such as soil, dust, fine organic matter, zooplankton, and other microorganisms, can all cause turbidity in the water. The turbidity of water can be measured using a turbidimeter. Different turbidimeters have varying measurement ranges: 0-20, 20-200, 200-1000, 1000-2000, 2000-4000 NTU. There are also turbidimeters with very wide measurement ranges, reaching up to 0–9999 NTU. You can make a purchase based on your own needs.
The most important thing is whether the turbidity meter electrodes are waterproof. The electrode heads I’m using currently develop water droplets on their lenses after about 4 months of use, which affects the measurement accuracy and can even cause the devices to stop working properly. I use these instruments in wastewater treatment; the water temperature in summer is around 70 degrees, and the wastewater contains impurities such as silica, sodium silicate, and sodium sulfate
