Inline Salinity or Hydro Tester - Is there such a thing?

[aedds2]

Just checking to see if there is an inline salinity or hydro tester? The thought is to add it to the mixing station through a hose or pipe so we can see at all times where we are with the saltwater. I can't really find anything out there and maybe there is something we could modify to make work. TIA!

You could plumb a tee inline with a compression adaptor on the middle leg to hold a probe inline from something like the pinpoint salinity checker. Kind of like the same adaptor used to hold a ph probe on a calcium reactor lid. Or instead of a pinpoint you could possibly throw a PM2 on it but I’m pretty sure air bubbles would be an issue. Or you could plumb in a catch cup off a slip stream. We do this at work on our chem units for ph

These are great ideas!

Be sure to post pics on this thread if you do it so we can see how it turns out. Regardless of the method you use. I’d like to see how it turns out. The other option you could use would be an in tank scenario. You could make a probe holder out of something buoyant like styrofoam that moves up and down with the changing water level. There’s lots you could do to elaborate on this if you get creative...

I think it’s just called a conductivity sensor. Alex has them and report salinity in real time
