Another approach to the multiple sensor setup is to use a hub and have each sensor, or group of sensors on a different channel. You could do this with a Raspberry Pi and Sheepwalk RPI3 + RPI3a adapter to give you 8 separate channels.

this case, if the wiring shorts, it will kill all sensors. u will have to find out which is the bad one, unconnect it, and then you can continue.

also to notethat likely they will fail in proportion if time, so if all are same, they will fail about the same time.

    I think you may have a misunderstaning of the way these sensors
    work. One adapter can cover many sensors. As I said, you only need
    to the long run to a connection box near the water, then connect
    the sensors serially inside the box.

    Thanks all for your tips.
    I will try some of them. Multiple sensors is a good solution but
    requires multiple adapters and cables.

    I have for some years monitored sea water temperature with DS1820s and

    I have some in saltwater for about 4y now without failure.
    But to be able to give any meaningful answer: it is very important to
    know the salinity and temperature of the water you measure - it's a big
    diffenrence for so called "stainless steel" (or however its called like
    V4A, ..) i.e wether the saltwater has 10 or 28°C!

    But one thing ahead: copper gets eated by saltwater due to electrolysis
    if the material in between is conducting - very quickly!

    Define your needs, maybe a solution is near but not with materials you
    find on land ;)
