Monitoring Made Simple
ProSwap Logger features a universal port for a wide variety of real-time monitoring applications. Combine any digital smart sensor with the built-in temperature and depth sensors for more comprehensive measurements in a slim profiling package. Build a dedicated system for conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, or algae monitoring applications with unique customization options.
Continuous Unattended Logging
Ideal for short- and long-term deployments, the on-board memory is capable of holding over 100,000 data sets. With ProSwap Logger, you can view trends in water quality over extended periods of time for a true representation of the ecosystem.
Flexible Deployment
ProSwap Logger is a powerful instrument in a small package. Suspend in groundwater wells, deployment pipes, and other tight or shallow spaces. A variety of power and deployment options are available to fit the needs of your system.
Reliable Connection
An integral cable allows for easy topside communication and data download without removing the sonde from its deployment location. A twist-lock connector provides quick and reliable communication via a dedicated handheld or Kor Software. With convenient options for calibration, deployment setup, and data collection, ProSwap Logger makes it easier than ever to effectively expand you smart watershed.
Digital Smart Sensors
ProSwap Logger is compatible with any individual ProDSS Digital Smart Sensor for fast, easy setup and high quality data. Each sensor features a welded titanium body, auto-recognition, and local storage of calibration for quick swapping. Trusted by water quality professionals, these sensors provide accurate data with advanced technology and proven performance!

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. 
 
[caption id="attachment_38996" align="alignnone" width="940"] HRWC volunteers measure stream velocity across a subsection of Woods Creek, a tributary of the Huron River near Belleville, Michigan. 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.
