Manhole Deposits Kits
The manhole deposits kits combine all essential test and measuring instruments
for sewer and wastewater inspection in a robust, portable case.
They include instruments for determining pH value, conductivity,
temperature and redox potential, supplemented by sensors for
turbidity and total suspended solids (TSS).
In addition, H₂S, CH₄ and O₂ gas detectors are included, as well as systems for
sludge level and level measurement, sampling and
visual or camera inspection.
All components are calibratable and meet the requirements of
DIN EN ISO 5667 for sampling and water monitoring.
Applications & Benefits
The kits are specially designed for municipal utilities, sewer service providers,
industrial companies and municipal drainage operators.
They enable rapid on-site assessment of deposits and media
before cleaning or rehabilitation.
By combining measurements of water chemistry, gas content and
sludge layer, corrosion risks (e.g. from H₂S)
and odour issues can be identified at an early stage.
The recorded data support targeted cleaning and provide
audit-proof evidence – with minimal effort and high process reliability.
Measurement Tasks & Kit Configuration
Water chemistry:
Measurement of pH, conductivity (EC),
redox potential and temperature
with calibratable probes.
In addition, turbidity and
TSS (total suspended solids) are determined
to assess sediment and suspended solids in the water.
Gas clearance measurement:
Monitoring the concentrations of H₂S, CH₄
and O₂ before entering manholes or sewers.
All readings are continuously recorded and
automatically documented to ensure occupational safety.
Sludge level & level measurement:
Use of ultrasonic probes or tape probes
depending on manhole depth and
hydraulic conditions.
The results allow precise determination of sediment height and remaining volume.
Sampling:
Performed in accordance with DIN EN ISO 5667 with
clearly labelled sample bottles
and complete sample identification.
All steps are subject to documentation requirements and
designed for audit-proof traceability.
Visual & camera inspection:
Use of LED inspection lights
or endoscopes for visual assessment
of deposits, damage or foreign objects.
Optionally, footage can be directly linked to the digital documentation.
Data acquisition & integration:
All measurement results can be read out via
digital interfaces and imported directly into
standardised test reports
or cloud systems.
Product Areas & Integration
The range includes standard kits for routine operations as well as
custom-configured systems with data loggers,
digital interfaces and QS software for automatic documentation.
We create project-specific sampling and measurement point plans,
define relevant standards and safety requirements, and
integrate the sets seamlessly into existing work, QA and audit workflows.
This ensures continuous traceability and legally compliant data capture.

Frequently Asked Questions about Manhole Deposits Kits
Which test instruments belong in a manhole deposits kit?
Typically: pH, conductivity, temperature and redox measurement, turbidity/TSS,
H₂S/CH₄/O₂ gas detection, sludge level or level measurement,
sampling accessories according to DIN EN ISO 5667, inspection/flashlight as well as optional camera endoscopes.
Calibration solutions, consumables and report templates complete the set.
How do I choose the right manhole deposits kit?
Selection based on application environment (municipal, industrial, grease separator), measurement parameters (pH/EC/redox, turbidity/TSS, H₂S/CH₄/O₂),
sampling rules (DIN EN ISO 5667), depth/accessibility (sludge level, probe lengths),
documentation needs (data logger/interfaces) and robustness (IP protection, ATEX environment).
What improves traceability and occupational safety with manhole deposits kits?
A measurement point and sampling plan, calibrated sensors with certificates, gas clearance measurement (H₂S/CH₄/O₂) before entry,
complete sample identification, digital reports (incl. photos) and PPE/Ex protection.
Regular instrument monitoring and user training ensure consistent and safe operations.
