Anti-Fouling Copper Tape
The Hydrolab Anti-Fouling Copper Tape is a flexible, easy to apply solution designed to reduce biofouling on Hydrolab water quality sensors and mounting hardware. Biofouling from algae, bacteria, and biofilms can compromise sensor accuracy and increase maintenance requirements during long-term deployments. The Hydrolab Anti-Fouling Copper Tape provides an effective passive method to help protect sensors and improve data reliability.
Designed for use with Hydrolab multiparameter water quality meters and deployment systems, the copper tape harnesses the natural anti-fouling properties of copper to inhibit biological growth on exposed surfaces. Its adaptable form makes it ideal for applications where mesh protection is not practical or where additional fouling control is required.
SONDE COMPATIBILITY
The Hydrolab Anti-Fouling Copper Tape is suitable for use with Hydrolab HL-series water quality meters, including:
Copper Tape is available in 2″ & 3″ widths. It can be applied to sensor housings, guards, mounting brackets, and other exposed components as required.
APPLICATIONS
The Hydrolab Anti-Fouling Copper Tape is ideal for:
- Long-term unattended monitoring deployments
- High-nutrient or warm water environments
- Lakes, reservoirs, and rivers
- Estuarine and coastal monitoring
- Environmental compliance programs
- Research and monitoring installations
WHY USE ANTI-FOULING PROTECTION?
Biofouling is one of the most common challenges in long-term water quality monitoring, particularly in warm, nutrient-rich, or slow-moving waters. The Hydrolab Anti-Fouling Copper Tape provides a simple and effective method to supplement other fouling-control measures without requiring power, chemicals, or moving parts.
Copper tape is especially useful for custom installations, mounting assemblies, and areas where flexible protection is needed to extend deployment duration and reduce servicing costs.
IMPORTANT
Note: The Hydrolab Anti-Fouling Copper Tape is an accessory designed to support Hydrolab sensors and deployment hardware and is not a standalone monitoring product.
The Hydrolab HL4 and HL7 water quality meters are manufactured by Hydrolab and proudly represented by Aqualab Scientific.
