Read stream velocity directly from 0.5 to 25 feet (.152 to 7.5 meters) per second in Velocity mode

Read stream velocity directly from 0.5 to 25 feet (.152 to 7.5 meters) per second

Combination rods are designed to measure flows in faster, deeper water. These wands can be used from low bridges, boats, manholes, or while wading. The segmented 1" diameter thick-walled aluminum tube construction provides the rigidity to withstand higher flows. These rods are supplied with a Top Cap and direction pointer, a Slider (to hold the sensor) and a 2 1/2" diameter Foot.

6/10 Depth Method rods are designed to be used while wading in streams, waterways and channels. Stream depth is noted using the larger graduated rod, then the corresponding marks on the smaller rod are used to slide the sensor to 6/10 of the depth from the stream surface, a standard average velocity depth in shallow waters. Top-set wading rods shown differ only in their depth measurement capabilities.

Telescoping wands are designed for reaching into shallow and partially obstructed man-made channels. Both length wands are supplied with the sensor on an 8 inch boom for easy reach into side sewers (a shorter, 2 inch boom is also available). Simple but rugged all-stainless hose clamps provide positive section locking with minimum field maintenance. A 2 1/2" diameter stainless steel depth probe with 1" dia. aluminum foot is supplied and can be attached to the bottom of the extended lower section. The depth probe is used for repeating measurements from a specific distance off the channel bottom. The probe has no hash marks. Enough connection cable to reach 5 ft. beyond maximum wand extension is provided.

Price type AA and Pygmy meters were easily converted for use with Swoffer Model 3000 Indicators and the 2200 optical sensor but times have changed.... This page is for historical information only. The 2200-3000 instrument is no longer being manufactured. A few replacement sensors & retrofit meter parts may still be available for repairs or maintenance. Please contact Swoffer by email or phone for the latest information.

Waterproof polypropylene carrying case. Holds: Indicator (2100 or 3000), Sensor and cable with room left over for other components. A highly recommended option for the -1514 and -1518 instruments. Available from several world wide sources.  These cases are as rugged as they come !

Smaller but just as rugged (and waterproof) the Pelican 1200 box protects an Indicator plus has room for spare rotor assemblies and other small items. The most popular small case for the safe transportation and secure storage of a Swoffer Indicator and rotors. Available from several world wide sources.
