Yesterday we were at Southern Water site Worlds End, demonstrating our LH176-Microprocessor, and it was great to see the level of interest this instrument continues to generate.

The LH176-M is becoming increasingly popular across the UK water industry, with two major water companies now having standardised on the technology. We're also seeing growing interest from other utilities, which is a strong endorsement of the instrument's performance, reliability and ease of use in the field.

A big thank you to the Southern Water team for hosting us and for the opportunity to showcase the capabilities of the LH176-M.

It's exciting to see momentum building as more water companies recognise the benefits of accurate, dependable monitoring solutions.

We’re really pleased to see continued momentum building for the LH176 Microprocessor.
Portsmouth Water has now standardised the LH176 M across its operations, marking a significant step forward in wider adoption of the system.
Last week we also completed a successful demonstration with Wessex Water, who have indicated they will be rolling the LH176 M out across their sites!

It’s great to see increasing confidence in the product across the sector, and we’re looking forward to supporting further deployments and continued rollout.

We’re pleased to share the following testimonial regarding our newest instrument the LH176 Microprocessor, which has recently been standardised by Portsmouth Water, with other water companies now following suit.

Portsmouth Water testimonial
‘’The Sandhurst Instruments microprocessor rescaling unit proved to be a reliable and practical solution during its use at several of our service reservoirs and borehole across our distribution region, where it was used in conjunction the LH176-M Depth Transmitter. The unit allowed for straightforward rescaling of the transmitters enabling accurate level monitoring without the need for complex logistical interruptions to process. Setup was intuitive, with clear parameter configuration that reduced commissioning time on site. Once installed, the device provided stable and consistent output, which is obviously critical for maintaining confidence in borehole abstraction levels and ensuring compliance with operational and regulatory requirements.
From an end user perspective, the team have found the software interface easy to navigate and the general operation of all components in conjunction with our calibration unit, extremely easy to get to grips with. It’s been especially beneficial for our apprentices to use for their continued learning and on the job development Overall, the Sandhurst rescaling unit represents a dependable and efficient addition to instrumentation setups, supporting both accurate data acquisition and ease of maintenance for field technicians.’’

It’s incredibly rewarding to see our work recognised in this way by leading organisations within the water industry. Portsmouth Water’s decision to standardise this instrument reflects the reliability, accuracy, and practicality we aim to deliver across all our solutions.
We’re grateful for their trust and ongoing collaboration, and encouraged to see wider adoption beginning across the sector.
At Sandhurst Instruments, we remain committed to developing robust, industry-focused instrumentation that meets the evolving needs of water utilities.

Following a recent enquiry from one of our customers about diesel tank level measurement, we thought it was a good opportunity to highlight a solution that isn’t as widely known as it should be.

At Sandhurst Instruments, our LH176 Depth Transmitter is a proven and widely used level measurement instrument, trusted across a broad range of industrial applications for its reliability and performance.

What’s less well known is that we also manufacture a dedicated variant: the LH176-D, specifically designed for diesel measurement in tanks.

The LH176-D is built on the same robust LH176 platform but is optimised for diesel applications, where accurate and stable level measurement is essential. It is particularly suited to fuel storage, distribution systems, and on-site monitoring, providing dependable readings in environments where consistency and reliability are critical.

For customers already familiar with the LH176, the LH176-D offers a purpose-built extension of that capability—tailored specifically for diesel storage applications.

If you’re working with diesel tanks and want to explore whether the LH176-D is suitable for your setup, feel free to get in touch.

One of the most common mistakes in water instrumentation?
Treating tanks and rivers as “simple” environments.
They’re not.
Even in tanks, small variations in flow, inlet turbulence, or sensor placement depth can introduce measurable differences in output. In rivers, that complexity increases significantly with sediment load, velocity changes, and seasonal variation.
The result is often the same: data that looks consistent—but isn’t fully representative of reality.
At Sandhurst Instruments, we see performance as a function of both the device and its environment.
Are you factoring installation conditions into your measurement strategy?

Really insightful site visit to Portsmouth Water recently, where we had the opportunity to observe the installation of a Sandhurst Instruments - LH176 Microprocessor in action at the World's End site.

It was great to see first-hand the level of precision, planning, and safety that goes into the process, as well as the teamwork between site engineers and operations staff to ensure everything is installed and commissioned smoothly.

What was especially impressive is that Portsmouth Water have standardised this technology across all of their sites, following the success of earlier installations and how highly they value its performance and reliability.

We truly value our working relationship with Portsmouth Water and appreciate the continued trust and collaboration on these projects. Partnerships like this are key to driving innovation and delivering reliable, high-quality solutions across the network.

Visits like this are invaluable for understanding how design and specification translate into real-world application, and how critical reliable equipment is to maintaining high standards of water supply and service.

A huge thank you to Portsmouth Water for hosting us and sharing their expertise throughout the visit.
