Cleaning the Thermistor Cover
In order to respond quickly to changes in the water temperature, water must be able to flow over the sen-
sor. Do not block the thermistor cover or paint over it with antifouling paint. Remove any biofouling as
soon as possible.
The thermistor is embedded in the transducer head. The sensor is under a stainless steel cover
that is highly resistant to corrosion.
