How Does it Work?

The pH Tester is a handy and popular handheld meter for measuring the nutrient solution’s acidity or alkalinity.

The product contains a probe which measures the pH of any liquid. The electrode at the end of the product dips into the solution, and the unit switches on. After about 20 seconds, the LCD will settle and display the pH of the liquid.

When a reading displays, it will remain in place until pressing another button, allowing the user the chance to remove the product from the nutrient solution and read the display.

The product is water-resistant and won’t be damaged if dropped into the nutrient solution for a short time. Calibrating is an easy push-button process, and the product has an auto switch-off function to preserve battery longevity. It’s straightforward, reliable and accurate, making it superb value for money.

How to Use?

The pH Meter is simple and easy to use. Switch on the product and dip its sensor in your nutrient solution; you will see that the unit displays the pH level on its LCD screen. To ensure accurate readings, regularly calibrate the product with a suitable buffer solution such as Vitalink Buffer 4 or Vitalink Buffer 7.

Do this regularly, so the meter calibrates according to the pH level cited on the bottle’s instructions. It’s always best to calibrate for the buffer points to get a more precise reading. Dip the meter into the buffer solution, then press the ‘Calibrate’ button until it displays a ‘CAL’ readout, indicating that recalibration is complete.
