pHishGardModel pg-k -Electrode Guard for Aquaculture

SHARE

Where large fish are present, especially in high concentrations like aquaculture, there is always the risk that sharp fins may damage the membrane of dissolved oxygen sensors.  The pHishGard prevents this by creating a barrier around the electrode while allowing adequate water flow for accurate measurements. Durable and chemical resistant Delrin® is used to withstand both the physical stress of large fish running into the guard, along with any environmental stress from the sun and water.  Delrin® also does not release potentially harmful compounds into water, ensuring the long-term health of the environment.

The pHionics pHishgard™ is a device that easily slips over the electrode and provides additional protection from large fish scraping or otherwise damaging the electrode tip with their fins.  It works by expanding and contracting at the top via handles, similar to scissors. This allows the pHishgard™ to lock in the groove at the top of the sensor and stay securely in place when force is applied from any direction.

1. Place pHishgard™ over electrode end of the sensor, bottom first.

2. Squeeze pHishgard™ at handles to expand the top over the sensor.

3. While squeezing, align top of pHishgard™ with the sensor groove, then release.

4. The side opposite the handles may not be fully in the groove.  If so, press down on that side to pop into place.
