There are several pieces of sophisticated equipment which are considered essential for those in the aquaculture industry. These products include Ph Meters, Ph/ORP Controllers and analysers, salinity testers and dissolved oxygen transmitters. With the exception of the devices previously mentioned, one of the most important pieces of Aquaculture equipment is the Dissolved oxygen analyser / controller. In some cases, experts would say that equipment to monitor dissolved oxygen concentration is the most important testing device to have when starting and maintaining a fish farm.
If the dissolved oxygen concentration of the water at fish farms is not controlled, it can cause stress, illness or death to the fish contained within it. The levels of dissolved oxygen concentration need to be checked on a regular basis as it can change and fluctuate in as little as minutes.
One of the most popular dissolved oxygen devices is the alpha DO2000 series dissolved oxygen analyser / controller. This particular device is useful for both the monitoring of temperature and the control of dissolved oxygen in aquaculture applications. The analyser can be used with valves, blowers or aerators to make sure of proper system operation.
The alpha DO2000 series dissolved oxygen analyser has many interesting and useful features. The calibration of this machine is fast as well as simple and utilises the atmospheric air for 100% air saturation. Barometer pressure, temperature compensation and salinity testing is included in the devices features. Incorporated into the system is password protection of which there are 3 levels. This protects the device from any unauthorized changes of settings.
The alpha D02000 series device uses a universal power supply from 85 to 250 VAC/DC which allows for flexibility. This particular dissolved oxygen analyser and controller can be very simply installed as it comes complete with detachable plug in connectors.
There are a select few online retailers which stock the Alpha D02000 and other Aquaculture Equipment.
