Vitalink pH Buffer 7
Vitalink pH Buffer 7 is a fluid that keeps your pH meter calibrated correctly. Ensuring precise calibration is essential to get consistently accurate readings and keep your nutrient solution stable and at the correct pH level or range.
This product does this for you and is trusted to do so by many growers. It has several features and attributes, including the following:
- It is a very stable pH calibration fluid
- It works with all brands of pH meter
- Ensures accurate readings at all times
- Use this regularly to keep your pH meter(s) adequately calibrated.
How Does it Work?
Your pH meter needs regular calibration to ensure accurate readings of the acidity of the nutrient solution in your system. This product has a stable pH of 7, so it will calibrate your meter because you’ll always know that the pH of this fluid will remain constant, whatever the range of pH levels you are working to at any given time or for any purpose.
How to Use?
Your nutrient solution’s pH level will affect the bioavailability of the various nutrients your plants need for healthy growth and development; a pH level that errs beyond acceptable max or min ranges will put your plants in danger of deficiencies or disease.
It may also adversely treat friendly bacteria within the substrate, which are so necessary to the types of growing methods favoured these days, particularly hydroponics.
Your pH meter, trusty though it is, will not last forever. The meter itself or the pH electrode inside it has a coating that will degrade through age and use.
Therefore regular calibration is both necessary and essential. If you use your pH meter daily, you should calibrate it at least once a week. To calibrate your pH meter, you can use this product or Vitalink Buffer 4, also available. These will ensure that your readings are far more accurate.
Your nutrient solution’s temperature also affects its pH level. Buffer 7 has automatic compensation for this. Place the fluid and pH meter in the same room (and same temperature) for a day before calibration.
