How to Record and Share Water Quality Data for Nanobubble Generator Sizing
Learn how to measure, record, and share water quality parameters like pH, DO, COD, and turbidity so you can choose the right system for your needs.
If you are not at this stage yet, please read our previous article "Which Water Quality Parameters to Measure Before Choosing a Nanobubble Generator" to find out what you need to measure and where to buy or rent correct sensors.
1. Decide on Sampling Plan
Where: Identify representative water sources or points (e.g., inlet, pond center, irrigation line).
When: Measure at times that reflect typical and worst-case conditions (e.g., before/after rain, during peak use).
Frequency: For sizing purposes, usually 3–5 different readings over different days/times is enough.
2. Record Your Measurements
Create a simple data table or spreadsheet. Include:
Date, Time, Location, pH, Temp (°C), ORP (mV), DO (mg/L), Turbidity (NTU), TSS (mg/L), COD (mg/L), BOD (mg/L), TOC (mg/L), Salinity (ppt), Ammonia (mg/L), Notes (weather, unusual events)

3. Record Supporting Details
Along with the measurements, also record:
Water volume/area to be treated (liters, m³, hectares)
Flow rates if water is moving (e.g., in irrigation or filtration systems)
Contamination type (algae, biofilm, pathogens, organic waste, etc.)
Treatment goal (oxygenation, disinfection, odor control, etc.)
Current treatment methods (if any)
4. Share Your Recordings With Us
Share the document with bubbles@waboost.com if you made a copy in Google Drive
Or Save as Excel (.xlsx), CSV (.csv), or PDF and send to the same email above.
Also include a short summary of your goals and conditions (e.g., “We have a 2,000 m² aquaculture pond, COD is averaging 85 mg/L, goal is algae control and fish health improvement.”)
We will analyze our results and get back to your shortly.
5. How We Use
BOD/COD/TOC → to calculate ozone or oxygen demand
Turbidity/TSS → to assess how easily gas will penetrate
DO → for oxygen baseline and target
pH/Temp → for gas stability adjustments
Flow/Volume → for dosing rate and generator sizing
