Any idea what this symbol is?

Hi - I have attached a picture of the symbol. It is the one to the left of the pH meter. Is is part of a pH water control loop. Does anyone know what it could be? The piping is 3/4" PVC SCH80. I think it is some kind of check valve w/ injection port or bleed port. Thanks in advance.

This is what it looks like in the field. Flow is from the top and back then down and out the bottom. Could be a port or flow body? Flow switch? Bleeder valve? It might be the pH meter I guess. I could be confusing the symbol with this and they are not the same.
 
Could it be someone's homemade symbol for a sample well that the pH probe is inserted into?

Yes maybe a one directional flow body for the pH probe? That arrow in the symbol is what makes me think there is something more.
 
May be a conductivity sensor. They are generally installed in Tee Junction to avoid air gap.
