A water quality monitor system comprising a base having a first end and a second end is disclosed. A cover is removably coupled to the first end of the base such that the cover surrounds and covers the first end of the base. A flow cell jar is connected to the second end of the base. A sensor probe is connected to the second end of the base and extends downward into the flow cell jar. The sensor probe is configured to measure a plurality of water quality parameters. The base includes an inlet and an outlet connected to opposing ends of the base and connected in-line to the plumbing of a pool recirculation system. A controller is configured to provide a connection between the water quality monitor and a cloud-based storage system, using a wireless network. The measured water quality parameters are transmitted to the cloud storage system.
