Description
Spectrum Sensors & Controls has developed a remarkable new product for sensing water temperature in pool/spa applications.
The new "AquaSense" design is ideal for applications that require ease of installation and a fast thermal response time in a rugged, low-cost package. While the standard list of parts is based on thermistor sensing elements, the design can easily be adapted to RTDs and other temperature sensing technologies.
To install the AquaSense assembly, simply drill a 1/4" hole into the PVC piping, insert the probe, then use a standard 1/2" wide hose clamp to seal the o-ring onto the PVC pipe. While traditional designs have used a variety of methods for attaching the sensor to the outside wall of the plastic pipe, Spectrum Sensors & Controls' AquaSense utilizes a molded plastic housing in direct contact with the water flow to ensure a fast, accurate temperature reading that is not possible with external sensors.
The AquaSense assembly is compatible with most of the major pool/spa control systems on the market today and comes standard with 10ft. of PVC jacketed cable, and with the o-ring installed and ready for use. A wide variety of options are available including sensor type, cable length and terminations.
