A SUBMERSIBLE PROBE FOR MEASURING WATER PH AT FISH FARMS

IFF PROBE XB2-S pH

Effective and easy measurement at fish farms

Measuring water pH is an important water quality parameter. The XB2-S probe is used to measure pH in the standard range (0-14 pH), for fresh water and salt water applications. It consists of a stainless-steel head with the option of replaceable electrodes, a body with integrated electronics and a durable cable.

Advantages

Every fish species requires a specific pH value for its optimum development. A rising pH causes NH4+ to be converted to toxic undissociated NH3, which results in fish mortality. Depending on the species of fish being farmed, XB2-S probe measurements can be used to ensure optimum pH value. Intermittent water pollution can also be detected if this probe is located at the inflow. The probe uses an external supply tank of gel electrolyte and a multi-level reference system, which prevents the probe from being poisoned by sea water and extends its service life.
