Overview
ProSwap cables meet the needs of most water quality sampling applications with lengths ranging from 1 to 100 meters and 2.54 cm diameter. The ProSwap cable accommodates any single ProDSS digital smart sensor.
Digital Smart Sensor
Calibration information is saved in each smart sensor for an easy plug-and-play experience. Connect to a ProSwap or ProDSS handheld meter via the twist-lock MS connector to form a complete system. Options include:
- Conductivity/Temperature
- Optical Dissolved Oxygen
- pH
- PH/ORP
- Turbidity
- Total Algae-PC (Phycocyanin + Chlorophyll)
- Total Algae-PE (Phycoerythrin + Chlorophyll)
- Ammonium ISE
- Chloride ISE
- Nitrate ISE
Benefits
All ProSwap cables have a thermistor built-into the bulkhead for supplemental temperature readings and compensation. Additionally, an optional depth module is built-into the probe assembly. Cables include a non-reflective black plastic probe guard, storage sleeve, sponge, graduated cylinder for calibration, and maintenance kit (port plug, spare o-rings, tube of Krytox lubricant, syringe for depth sensor cleaning, and sensor installation/removal tool). A 4.9 oz weight and cable management kit is included with cables 4 meters and longer.

Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network: Building Trust in Citizen Science Programs
Citizen science programs have popped up across the United States, focusing on connecting local communities with nearby water resources and building a trustworthy data pool over the sampling period. While commonly utilized as a means of ensuring that large watersheds or lake regions are adequately sampled, the credibility and success of such programs have been called into question.

Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.

In the eastern basin of Lake Erie, off the coast of Dunkirk, New York, a data buoy collects valuable water quality, weather, and wave data that inform residents and regulatory groups of conditions on the water. 
 
Since 2011, Buffalo State University’s Great Lakes Center has maintained and operated the Dunkirk buoy with funding from the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) and field support from the NYSDEC Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit.

Lightweight and easy to use, the SonTek CastAway offers a convenient 3-in-1 solution for measuring conductivity, temperature, and depth profiles. At a 5 Hz sampling rate, the CastAway is designed for up to 1 m/s free-fall through the water column. 
 
 With fast response and accurate conductivity, temperature, and depth measurements, the CastAway is ideal for thermocline and halocline profiling. The unit also reports salinity and speed of sound.
