HOBO Water Level Data Logger
From $360.00 USD
A low-cost, research-grade data logger for continuous monitoring of water level and temperature at depths of up to 13, 30, or 100 feet in a wide range of underwater environments; for use in freshwater or saltwater.
Important Information
Requires HOBOware Pro software and either a U-DTW-1 Waterproof Shuttle or the Base-U-4 Optic USB Base Station for configuration and data offload. Please see compatible items below.
Overview
A low-cost, research-grade data logger for continuous monitoring of water level and temperature at depths of up to 13, 30, or 100 feet in a wide range of underwater environments. This logger features 0.1% measurement accuracy, a polypropylene housing for use in both freshwater and saltwater, and a non-vented design for convenient and hassle-free deployment.

Features
- Self-contained, non-vented design enables easy deployment
- Ideal for use in both freshwater and saltwater environments, including wells, streams, lakes, wetlands, and tidal areas
- Depths up to 13, 30, or 100 feet depending on model
- Durable ceramic pressure sensor withstands freezing
- HOBOware Pro software provides easy conversion to accurate water level reading, fully compensated for barometric pressure, temperature, and water density
Note: A calibration certificate is not offered for this logger. If you require a NIST-traceable calibration certificate, please see the U20-001-01 (freshwater) or U20-001-01-Ti (saltwater).
