The invention discloses a method for monitoring a water quality monitoring system based on Internet of Things, which is used for solving the problems that some detection devices age along with the increase of the use time, which influences the authenticity of detection data and reduces the reliability of the data. The system comprises a sample acquisition module, a sample detection module, an effective calculation module, an instrument acquisition module, an effective calculation module, a processor, a storage module, an early warning unit, a communication module, a server and a user terminal;according to the invention, a formula shown in the description is used to acquire an error scaling factor WAi of a PH sensor; a formula Hai=GAi (1+WAi) is used to acquire an actual value Hai of the PH sensor; therefore, the detection data is more accurate and reliable, the formula shown in the description is used to acquire a storage duration Cai of the actual value of the PH sensor; deleting iscarried out periodically according to the duration of the storage duration, that the server stores valid water quality parameter data is ensured.
