CO2-100 Avoid CO2-Oversaturation or CO2-Undersaturation
An important sensor to avoid Acidosis and Alkalosis. It responds quickly and is low in maintenance.
SMART! Order a combi instrument including the CO2 sensor + our Oxygensensor and monitor CO2 and Oxygen together. This helps you to avoid and even reverse gill problems. Depending on the oxygen (O2) level, too much or too little carbon-dioxide (CO2) can cause problems for fish gills. If you have little O2, then you need a lot of CO2. If you have little CO2, then you need a lot of O2 to avoid problems. You can set alarm levels for any combination of the two values and receive an alarm.

Applications in Aqua Culture:
Typically the CO2 sensor is being used in fish farms in order to detect the cause of gill problems. Too much or too little CO2 lead to alkalosis and acidosis. High levels of CO2 were reported by clients who take the freshwater inflow from a deep well. Dangerous low levels of CO2 often occur where the CO2 is stripped by another gas. That happens e.g. when the injection system for air or oxygen is not well constructed.
