Does such a product exist?

I am looking for a probe holder (temp, ph, etc.) that I can place in my sump that will rise and fall with the water level.

By that I mean, when I do a water change, empty my sump, the probes will lower, and when I refill my sump, to the top, it will raise high enough so the tops aren't underwater.

Then, when I restart my return pump, the probes will lower to their normal level.

Thanks,
Sean

I've seen probes stuck through a piece of Styrofoam that performs like you described. The floating action keeps them at a consistent level.
