Deployment Considerations
l
Ensure that the DO sensor and bush are submerged in the pond sufficiently away
from the pond's edge, and above the bottom of the pond.
l
Carry the buoy by the float. Do not carry the buoy by the conduit or PVC pipes
because it will cause damage.
l
Anchor the buoy. The tether should be just long enough to reach the bottom of the
pond, but not so long that it might wrap around the buoy, aerator, or any other
object in the pond.
