Disclosed is an apparatus useful for monitoring the turbidity level of a fluid. The apparatus comprises a fluid passageway for a fluid in which the fluid flowing along a main flow pathway. A chamber is located in fluid communication with the fluid passageway and a portion of the fluid is deviated away from the main flow pathway so that it flows through the chamber. A turbidity monitor is connected to the chamber for monitoring the turbidity of the fluid flowing through the chamber. It os capable of transmitting a signal into the chamber to monitor the turbidity level of the fluid flowing through the chamber.
