Overview
The Hach HQD Laboratory Meters are advanced devices designed for water quality experts that utilize digital IntelliCAL probes, which are available for multiple parameters. Measurement data can be stored and transferred to a printer, PC or USB storage device.
IntelliCAL Probes
HQD meters connect with digital IntelliCAL probes and automatically recognize the testing parameter, calibration history and method settings to minimize errors and setup time. The IntelliCAL Red Rod pH electrodes offer exceptional performance and response time across a wide variety of sample types. The LBOD probe utilizes optical technology to provide fast, accurate Dissolved Oxygen (DO) measurements while dramatically reducing maintenance costs.
Additional probes for Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Ammonia, Ammonium, Fluoride, Nitrate, Sodium, and RedOx (ORP) measurements complete the IntelliCAL portfolio.
Models
HQD Series Meters are Available in Three Models:
- HQ411D - pH/mV/ORP (RedOx)
- HQ430D - Multi-parameter, single probe input
- HQ440D - Multi-parameter, dual probe inputs
Benefits
- Designed for drinking water and wastewater professionals
- Automatic probe and parameter recognition
- Instrument-guided calibration procedures
- Calibration data is stored in the probe
- Probe specific method settings for regulatory compliance and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)
- Real-time data logging with a USB connection
- Bi-directional communication with PC-based systems with a virtual serial port connection
- Sample ID and Operator ID for data traceability
- Adjustable automatic shut-off
- Durable, robust design to withstand years of use

Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo Manages Monitoring Efforts in Morro Bay
California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly, SLO), has been monitoring Morro Bay for decades, and while the monitoring program has changed over the years, the dedication to monitoring the bay has remained the same. The project started in 2006 as a Packard Foundation-funded initiative to monitor water quality flowing in and out of Morro Bay. The goal at the time was to use the data collected to develop and inform an ecosystem-based management plan in collaboration with the Morro Bay National Estuary Program (MBNEP). Since the estuary was the focus at the time, researchers were monitoring water flowing into the estuary from Chorro Creek and Los Osos Creek.

Green Water in Green Bay: Using Data Buoys to Monitor the Southern Bay
While the bay of Green Bay has been referred to as the largest freshwater “estuary” in the world, the watershed hosts intensive agriculture and contributes one-third of Lake Michigan’s total phosphorus load. The Fox River flows into the bay, carrying excess nutrients largely the result of non-point source runoff from the watershed. With a history of deterioration extending well into the last century, the bay ecosystem suffered significant declines in water quality. This, in turn, stimulated major clean-up and ongoing restoration efforts to improve water quality. Tracking these changes is an important aspect of ecosystem management.

Cross-Border Sewage Contaminated Flows: Monitoring the Tijuana River
The Tijuana River runs across the US-Mexico boundary, flowing into and throughout southern California, carrying with it nutrients and contaminants throughout the estuary. In recent decades, the flows have been heavily polluted with untreated sewage from the City of Tijuana. The wastewater enters the greater Tijuana River estuary, impacting coastal communities and disrupting the natural environment. In order to better understand these cross-border flows, researchers out of San Diego University sought to monitor the waterway test the capabilities of in-situ sensors to measure the contaminated water. Natalie Mladenov and Trent Biggs were two of the researchers involved in the project, deploying a real-time monitoring system in May of 2021.
