Pool Salt pH Tester Upgrade pH and ORP Meter Accurate Consistent Pool Water for pH, Salinity, ORP, TDS, EC, Temp Tester pH PPM and EC Tester for Hydroponics, Aquariums, Pool, Spa

I have been using this to keep an eye on my indoor hydroponic garden. I used strips to verify its accuracy and it was spot on. I needed it for PH and solids to try and figure out why my plants were not fruiting and it did exactly what I needed it to do. Great product and highly reccommended.

This device provides a comprehensive analysis by measuring pH, salinity, ORP (oxidation-reduction potential), temperature, TDS (total dissolved solids), and EC (electrical conductivity) on a single display. Operation is straightforward: simply immerse the device in the liquid, give it a gentle stir, and use the lower button to cycle through the different readings.It delivers quick and accurate measurements when properly calibrated. Calibration powders for various pH levels are included. The unit is well-constructed, and the display remains clearly visible even in bright lighting conditions.

I used it to test the water in the house as I believe my softer is putting too much salt in it. The reading came out normal. I do not have anything to test it against to see if it is accurate. It was super simple to use and seems to be of good quality.

I picked this up thinking it’d just be a backup meter—but it ended up becoming my daily driver for all my DWC grows. It checks pH, PPM, EC, salinity, temp, AND ORP, and it's accurate across the board. I’m not babying my tools either—this thing handles constant use without falling off calibration like some of the cheap junk out there.The screen is easy to read, the readings are consistent, and I like having everything in one device. No more switching between 3 different testers just to dial in my rez. If you’re running hydroponics, aquaponics, or deep water culture, this meter will make your life a whole lot easier.If you’re serious about dialing in your numbers, this ain’t optional—it’s essential.

Wouldn’t calibrate to PH sample properly, followed directions to the letter

I got this to pH Test my pool and aquarium, primarily. It has a ton of other functions as listed in the description, but honestly I would have paid the cost for just pH, temp and salt readings. It comes with pre-installed batteries in a waterproof housing, which is a great idea, given how often I've dropped pH strips right into the pool. I have yet to drop this reader into the water so I'm not sure how well the waterproofing works; I'm reluctant to test it because the device is so handy I'd rather not find out that mine isn't completely waterproof and have to order a replacement.The batteries themselves are button style mini batteries, which might be a little less convenient than "A" style long batteries, but I actually prefer them because they are lighter. I don't think the tool draws very much power so I doubt I'll be replacing them more than once every year or so, which, fine, I'll order the buttons online.The screen is lit, which is a great feature, and it's very readable. It also has a 'hold' function so you don't have to keep pressing down on a button to retain data you've just collected. This is great if I want to take a reading and then compare notes with my husband from whenever he's tested last.So far I'm really pleased with this machine. I have pH strips which I hate to use, and had been doing drop pH tests for the last year or so, which is time consuming. This tester makes my life a lot easier.

This meter comes calibrated right out of the box, and so far have not needed to calibrate yet. Reading are accurate within +/- .02 so far when compared to reading from my other meter. This is an extremely handy tool when you range of plants your growing need to follow a strict growth medium composition wether it be hydroponic or soil based. I have 3 meter at this point and this one seems to be my go to for information since it can be used to read the levels of 6 different sources. Highly recommend.

I recently purchased this pH and ORP meter to get a better understanding of my tap water's quality, and I'm generally pleased with its performance. The device feels sturdy and well-constructed, and the digital display is clear and easy to read. I appreciate that it tests for a wide range of parameters, including pH, ORP, TDS, EC, and temperature, making it a versatile tool.The meter worked almost perfectly right out of the box. The initial calibration for pH 4.0 and 7.0 went smoothly, and the readings seemed consistent. However, I did encounter some difficulty when attempting to calibrate the higher pH level using the provided packet. My tap water just wouldn't reach the target pH, making it a bit frustrating. I suspect this might be due to the specific chemistry of my water, but it was a minor hurdle.Despite the calibration hiccup at the higher pH range, the meter has performed well in daily use. The readings I'm getting for pH, TDS, and other parameters seem close enough to accurate for my needs. I've been able to get a much better idea of my tap water composition since using this tester, and I'm confident in its reliability.For the price, this pH and ORP meter is a great value. It's a significant upgrade from relying solely on test strips, and the ability to measure multiple parameters is a definite plus. Just be aware that you might need to find alternative solutions for high pH calibration if your water doesn't cooperate with the included packet. Other than that, I would recommend it for anyone wanting to test their tap water
