The AquaVent 5 Vented Water Level Datalogger records accurate water level and temperature measurements in shallow groundwater and surface water applications. It combines pressure and temperature sensors, hydrophobic filters and datalogger within a 22 mm x 173 mm (7/8" x 6.8") stainless steel housing with corrosion-resistant coating.
The AquaVent 5 uses a gauged pressure transducer; it is open to the atmosphere via a vented cable to surface. Atmospheric pressure is applied to the transducer diaphragm, providing a cancellation effect for barometric pressure. This results in actual water level recordings.
The vented cable and Solinst AquaVent 5 logger are protected from moisture by built-in desiccants and hydrophobic filters.
The vented pressure transducer is made of Hastelloy®, making it extremely durable and accurate in a wide range of temperature and monitoring conditions. The sensor provides an accuracy of 0.05% FS, and can withstand 2 times over-pressure without permanent damage.
The robust memory can hold up to 150,000 data sets when programmed in Solinst Levelogger® Software.
AquaVent 5 Applications
- Ideal for shallow applications: up to 20 m (65 ft) submergence
- Aquifer characterization: pumping tests, slug tests, etc.
- Stream gauging, lake and reservoir management
- Watershed, drainage basin and recharge monitoring
- Stormwater and runoff monitoring
- Long-term water level monitoring in wells and surface water
AquaVent 5 Features
