How Anti-fouling Works: Principles and Practices Webinar

One of the largest barriers to the search for good water quality data is the threat of fouling, which is why having a strong anti-fouling plan in place for your EXO Sonde is critical for long-term monitoring projects.

How Anti-fouling Works

Putting anti-fouling technologies in place can extend deployment intervals for your EXO Sonde or other long-term monitoring equipment. This can result in fewer trips to the field for equipment service and improved accuracy of water quality data. If you’ve ever experienced fouling in the field, this webinar is for you.

In this educational webinar, we will discuss:

• Common sources of fouling from soil and algae to barnacles and other animals
• Fouling’s effects on water quality data (drifts, spikes, and damaged equipment)
• The evolution of anti-fouling technology from plastic sleeves to UV light
• Expert tips to mitigate fouling from the sensor tips to the sonde body and even the cable
• Data longevity and how to reduce site visits required during deployments
• Real-world examples that demonstrate the application and benefit of anti-fouling measures
