The Hach BL9000 Bubble Level Sensor is a robust and reliable solution for measuring liquid levels in municipal and industrial flow monitoring applications. Designed specifically for seamless integration with the Hach FL1500 Flow Logger and the Hach FL900 Ultrasonic Flow Logger, the BL9000 provides accurate and stable level measurements using a simple tubing and bubble pressure system. Unlike traditional level sensors, the BL9000 requires no external air pump, reducing complexity and maintenance needs while ensuring continuous performance.
Environmental challenges such as steam, foam, high temperatures, and reverse flow won’t impact the BL9000’s ability to deliver precise measurements. Its self-purging function prevents clogging and debris buildup, minimizing maintenance while maintaining long-term accuracy.
