Why spend more for less?
The problem with most water depth, temperature, and electrical
conductivity sensors (CTD sensors) is that their cost is
prohibitively high. Plus they often require an extra barometric
pressure sensor to correct for atmospheric pressure. You need a
low-cost water level sensor equipped with everything necessary for
things like tracking changes in solute movement, groundwater
recharge, and surface water hydrology. You need HYDROS 21.
No need for costly extra sensors
A compact 3.4 cm diameter water level sensor that fits into
tight spaces, the HYDROS 21 CTD sensor is a low-cost, durable, and
easy-to-use tool for monitoring EC, temperature, and depth in both
groundwater and surface water. More importantly, it's an all-in-one
instrument. When used with the ZL6 data logger or any other logging
system, you won't require an additional sensor for measuring-and
referencing-barometric pressure. With a range of 0 to 120 dS/m and
a measuring depth of 10 m, the sensor makes accurate depth and EC
measurements for a broad range of applications.
Water level sensor with easy, research-grade data in real
time
One of the qualities that makes the HYDROS 21 water level sensor
so easy to use is its fast plug-and-play compatibility with the ZL6
data logger (also compatible with Campbell Scientific data
loggers). Plus, with the ZL6, you can monitor and remotely access
cloud data wirelessly from any internet-connected computer or
device in near-real time.
Affordable, accurate, and reliable
While engineering the HYDROS 21 water level sensor, we wanted to
design a water level sensor that was not only highly accurate but
also provided a high degree of value. Because of its
low-complexity, low-maintenance, and low-cost design, you can be
assured you're getting an instrument that will save you time,
hassle, and money.
Best price-to-performance ratio on the market
Trying to measure water level, temperature, and EC typically
requires an expensive CTD sensor with integrated telemetry. Unlike
competitor sensors, all of the HYDROS 21's data management happens
in an external data logger, so the cost of each individual sensor
is lower. Now, instead of having to rely on a single point
measurement, you can take readings in several different locations
without exceeding your budget.
