AquaRod

The AquaRod is a simple, low maintenance instrument to record water level based on capacitance technology. It also records air and water temperature. The AquaRod is comprised of a pod, which contains the electronics for data acquisition, and a rod, which is the capacitance gauge. The instrument is battery operated and can be programmed to log water level changes at preset time intervals.

To monitor events over an extended period, the AquaRod can be programmed to record only when the water level changes more than a preset threshold. Water and air temperatures are recorded with every measurement.

The AquaRod is freeze tolerant, is not susceptible to plugging of the sensing port, and it does not require an air vent tube. Data is easily downloaded to a computer via a serial connection.
