Methods and devices for obtaining approximate property data from the aqueous liquid phase of a multiphase fluid produced from a well. The method includes introducing a discrete sample of the multiphase fluid to a separation vessel; mixing a demulsifier with the discrete sample of the multiphase fluid; allowing the multiphase fluid to separate into separate liquid phases; drawing a measured sample of the aqueous liquid phase from the separation vessel, and diluting it with a measured amount of fresh water; analyzing the diluted aqueous liquid phase sample in a water analysis unit to measure a property of the diluted aqueous liquid phase sample and obtain diluted aqueous liquid phase sample data; and calculating the approximate aqueous liquid phase property data using the diluted aqueous liquid phase sample data and accounting for the amount of fresh water used to dilute the measured sample of the aqueous liquid phase.

A water hardness detection probe, sensor, detection method and water softener are provided. The sensor includes a control unit which includes a processing module and a potential detection module. The detection probe includes a first probe and a second probe. When the first and second probes are both exposed in raw water, a potential between the first and second probes is regarded as first potential. When the first probe is in the raw water and the second probe is in softened water, the potential between the first and second probes is regarded as the second potential. The potential detection module measures the potential between the first and second probes. The processing module determines the water hardness of the softened water according to a difference between the first potential and the second potential. The sensor can detect the water hardness of the water softener in real time and eliminate detection deviations.
