Overview
The Seametrics PT2X is ideal for observing flow patterns, testing pumps, and monitoring groundwater, well, tank and tidal levels. A pressure and temperature sensor with integrated data logging, this sensor is constructed with 316 stainless steel, fluoropolymer, PTFE—providing highly accurate readings in rugged and corrosive field conditions.
Sensor
- Measures pressure, temperature, and time
- Available in absolute, gauge, or sealed gauge
- Thermally compensated
- ± 0.05% FSO typical accuracy
- Low power: 2 internal AA batteries
- External power options (12 VDC) with AA’s acting as backup
- 316 stainless steel, fluoropolymer, and PTFE construction (titanium optional)
- Available for both Modbus and SDI-12 protocols
Data Logger
- Non-volatile memory: Data will not be lost in the event of a power failure
- Flexible, multi-phase logging sequences: Measure at specified intervals and save instructions to disk for reuse
- Pause logging feature: Temporarily pause the logging while repositioning or transporting the sensor
- Delayed start feature: State a specific future start time, making it easy to set several sensors to start at the same time
Cabling & Networking
- Wireless connectivity
- RS485 network: Allows several sensors to be networked together and provides much longer cable leads
- Field-serviceable connectors: Easily remove the connector, route the cable through well seals, walls, or conduit, and then replace the connector
- Available cableless or with a variety of cable options, including polyethylene, polyurethane, and FEP
Software
- Comes with free Aqua4Plus control software to get up and running immediately
- View data in real-time
- Easy export to spreadsheets and databases
- Barometric compensation utility for use with absolute sensors
- Update sensor via firmware while in the field

Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo Manages Monitoring Efforts in Morro Bay
California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly, SLO), has been monitoring Morro Bay for decades, and while the monitoring program has changed over the years, the dedication to monitoring the bay has remained the same. The project started in 2006 as a Packard Foundation-funded initiative to monitor water quality flowing in and out of Morro Bay. The goal at the time was to use the data collected to develop and inform an ecosystem-based management plan in collaboration with the Morro Bay National Estuary Program (MBNEP). Since the estuary was the focus at the time, researchers were monitoring water flowing into the estuary from Chorro Creek and Los Osos Creek.

Green Water in Green Bay: Using Data Buoys to Monitor the Southern Bay
While the bay of Green Bay has been referred to as the largest freshwater “estuary” in the world, the watershed hosts intensive agriculture and contributes one-third of Lake Michigan’s total phosphorus load. The Fox River flows into the bay, carrying excess nutrients largely the result of non-point source runoff from the watershed. With a history of deterioration extending well into the last century, the bay ecosystem suffered significant declines in water quality. This, in turn, stimulated major clean-up and ongoing restoration efforts to improve water quality. Tracking these changes is an important aspect of ecosystem management.

Cross-Border Sewage Contaminated Flows: Monitoring the Tijuana River
The Tijuana River runs across the US-Mexico boundary, flowing into and throughout southern California, carrying with it nutrients and contaminants throughout the estuary. In recent decades, the flows have been heavily polluted with untreated sewage from the City of Tijuana. The wastewater enters the greater Tijuana River estuary, impacting coastal communities and disrupting the natural environment. In order to better understand these cross-border flows, researchers out of San Diego University sought to monitor the waterway test the capabilities of in-situ sensors to measure the contaminated water. Natalie Mladenov and Trent Biggs were two of the researchers involved in the project, deploying a real-time monitoring system in May of 2021.
