Hydro-Wiper

The Hydro-Wiper is an innovative mechanical wiper system designed to be easily fitted to optical turbidity instruments. The regular gentle brushing action keeps the optical window of the instrument clean of deposits and biofouling. This enables turbidity instruments to be deployed for long periods of time, without the high cost of manually cleaning the instrument, or the high cost of data loss due to the instrument fouling.

The Hydro-Wiper is thoroughly field-proven in preventing fouling of turbidity sensors under a wide range of deployment conditions.
The Hydro-Wiper is available for a range of widely used optical instruments;
