The LG Sonic vertical profiler is the most accurate and cost-efficient solution for measuring the entire water column in real time.
Vertical Profiling System
Measures in high resolution
Collects data at various depths
50% more affordable
Measure water quality in high resolution at different depths
Game-changing profiler
Designed for large water bodies
With our automated Vertical Profiler System, you save time and money on monitoring and responding. The Profiler can be pre-set to take samples from a wide range of depths within a (large) water body and measures key water characteristics in real-time. Data is transmitted through 4G, radio, or satellite to the MPC-View online software.
- Cover wide range of depths
- User-friendly software included
- Set alarms and alerts
- Easy to install & maintain
Collects key water parameters
You get a complete overview of your water quality by collecting the following parameters in real-time:
- Chlorophyll α (green algae)
- Phycocyanin (blue-green algae)
- Ammonium
- Turbidity
- Dissolved Oxygen
- Temperature
- Redox
- Chemical Oxygen Demand
- Applications
- Installation
- Maintenance
Used across industries
Types of surface water bodies the Profiler measures:
- Raw/industrial/irrigation reservoirs
- Lakes
- Dams
- Cooling ponds
- Aquaculture ponds
- Wastewater treatment plants
- Power plants
- Settling ponds
- Wastewater lagoons
Fast & easy installation
The Vertical Profiler’s modular design eliminates the complexity and cost of traditional installation. No specialized equipment, no heavy lifting, no extended downtime.

SCADA & API Integration Capability
Collects data in real-time and delivers it to a user-friendly online software, combining IoT sensors with ultrasonic. You can access this anytime, from anywhere in the world.
Specific to your needs
The vertical profiler system can be upgraded with ultrasonic transmitters for algae control, plus a weather station and additional sensors for more accurate data.
View your water quality data anytime, anywhere
Once you purchase the LG Sonic Vertical Profiler system, you get access to the MPC-View, our online water quality monitoring software. Designed to be user-friendly. Provides a complete picture of your water body at every monitored location.
With the MPC-View, you gain valuable real-time insights into water quality and possible harmful events or pollutants. You can create specific rules that will trigger an email alert when pre-determined parameters are breached.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What parameters can thhe LG Sonic Vertical Profiler measure, and at what depths?
The Vertical Profiler measures the full water column in real time, taking readings at a range of preset depths down to 100 meters. It captures the parameters that matter for source water management: chlorophyll-a (green algae), phycocyanin (blue-green algae), ammonium, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, redox, and chemical oxygen demand, with additional parameters available on request. Because it profiles by depth rather than measuring only at the surface, it reveals stratification, oxygen layers, and where algae are concentrating in the water column, which surface-only monitoring misses. -
Does it integrate with our existing SCADA system?
Yes. The Vertical Profiler is built for SCADA and API integration, transmitting real-time data via 4G, radio, or satellite into the MPC-View online software, and feeding into your existing control systems. For a utility already running SCADA, this means the profiler's depth-resolved water quality data can flow into the same operational dashboards your team already uses, rather than becoming a separate, siloed system. -
How does it help us stay ahead of algal blooms and compliance issues?
By monitoring continuously and by depth, the Vertical Profiler detects the conditions that precede a bloom, rising phycocyanin, changing oxygen and redox levels, before the problem reaches the surface or the intake. You can set custom rules in MPC-View that trigger email alerts the moment a parameter crosses a threshold you define, so your team is notified early enough to act. For operators managing discharge or drinking water compliance, that early warning is the difference between a planned response and an emergency one. -
What does installation and maintenance involve for our team?
The modular design installs without cranes, boats, or specialist contractors, the system assembles on-site and can begin collecting data the same day, which keeps installation cost and downtime low. For maintenance, the compact design allows servicing directly from a boat without removing the unit, and the noncorrosive, weather-resistant build is designed to withstand harsh conditions and extend equipment lifespan. In practice, that means minimal disruption to your operations and lower total cost of ownership over the unit's life. -
Can the Profiler be upgraded to add algae control later?
Yes. The Vertical Profiler can be upgraded with ultrasonic transmitters for algae control, along with a weather station and additional sensors for more detailed data. This lets you start with monitoring to understand your water body, then add active treatment if the data shows you need it, matching the investment to what your site actually requires rather than committing to a full system upfront. It comes with a 2-year warranty.
