Environmental monitoring
A wide range of market leading sensors to continuously monitor water, weather & the environment
Creating end-to-end environmental monitoring solutions for 60 years
Over the past 60 years our company has been designing and manufacturing professional-grade hydrometeorological instruments and accessories like towing systems and cable ways for safer recording water measurements.
Our sensor product portfolio has evolved to offer other environmental monitoring innovations to measure snow and hail as well as water quality and soil moisture. Our devices are deployed worldwide to support government agencies, private companies, NGOs, scientists, and now farmers.
We ensure a seamless flow of accurate data collected under some of the harshest weather to reliable data systems for quality control, data visualisation, analysis and decision support. Whatever your ground-based sensing regimen, let us provide you with innovations to add value to the data chain – from data collection to management and reporting.
Hardware for environmental monitoring and the internet of things
As well as many environmental software solutions, we develop, manufacture, sell and install market-leading instrumentation, water and weather sensors, data loggers and IoT technology.
With over 60 years in this field, our products are designed with quality, accuracy and robustness in mind – so you can spend less time worrying about collecting data and more time working on solving the problem.

Proven water flow and water level devices
Our portfolio contains electro-mechanical current meters in standard size and miniaturised models which use either fan or cup type current propellers. Increasingly popular are the non-contact radar discharge measurement systems. And for specialist applications, several models of tipping bucket flow gauges are at hand.
Appropriate accessories such as electronic counters and wading rods are available. A range of positioning and towing systems for current meters or acoustic doppler current profilers (ADCPs) enable more safety for staff taking measurements.
In addition, our portfolio of precision water level sensors includes radar level sensors, level pressure sensors with full temperature compensation, float operated absolute shaft encoders, and maintenance-free, desiccant-free, self-contained compressor systems and bubblers. Accurate surface water and groundwater level data are transmitted via several outputs (RS232, 4-20mA or SDI-12). These rugged devices are designed with low-maintenance demand.
Available accessories include large volume gas chamber orifices, float pulleys, counterweights, beaded lines, and more.
Single and multi-parameter water quality probes
Single and multi-parameter water quality probes
Our water quality monitoring devices are perfectly fit for natural water, drinking water, wastewater and other various industrial applications. Single probes and multi-parameter probes include radiometers, photometers and fluorometers.
KISTERS also engineers and manufactures tailor-made monitoring systems like the iBox Water Quality. The robust fully configured all-in-one solution combines several water quality sensors to measure nitrate, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), algae / Chlrophyll-a (Chl-a), cyanobacteria / Phycocyanin, turbidity, pH, etc. and an iRIS 270 datalogger for data transmission.

On-farm agrimet and irrigation monitoring system
Set up this easy-to-use, complete monitoring system to monitor weather, irrigation water use, and support decisions for optimal crop growth.
Engineered for the modern farmer, FieldRay harnesses the power of the Internet of Things (IoT), combining industry-leading soil moisture and weather sensors, data loggers, and mobile-friendly software.
FieldRay gives growers easy access to data from anywhere 24/7 to visualise water uptake from the soil.
Calibration & certification services
Calibration & certification services
Periodic calibration ensures the reliability of data you measure. Certificates attest to quality assurance (QA) processes, ensuring traceable and auditable documentation.
Calibration and certification services for mechanical current meters; tipping bucket rain gauges; pressure sensors; and hail sensors. Some field calibration devices are available. In most cases, factory calibration is recommended on an annual basis for optimal performance in situ.
