The trick with waterproofing is that it's easy to do rainproof enclosures, but much harder to make fully submersible things.

For measuring water parameters I would be tempted to use a rugged box for the Pi and then cable (via a removable connector) to something you put in the water. Basically design a probe like the device you linked. The fewer parts that need to be fully waterproof the eaiser life gets.

Absolutely! There have been too many attempts by management to push our technical team towards devices with replaceable batteries as a means of reducing operational expenditure. Such loggers fail, often.
