Disclosed is a water quality analyzer, which comprises a total organic
carbon (TOC) measurement section for converting a carbon component in an
aqueous sample to carbon dioxide and measuring an amount of the carbon
dioxide, a conductivity measurement section for measuring a conductivity
of an aqueous sample, a gas aeration mechanism for passing a degassing
gas devoid of carbon dioxide gas through an aqueous sample to perform a
degassing treatment of expelling carbon dioxide gas in the aqueous
sample, and a control section for controlling respective operations of
TOC measurement and conductivity measurement. The control section is
operable, just before measuring a conductivity of a specific aqueous
sample during the conductivity measurement for the specific aqueous
sample, to controllably instruct the gas aeration mechanism to pass the
degassing gas through the specific aqueous sample so as to perform the
degassing treatment.
