SunGrow Digital pH and TDS Meter Set, Accurate Readings, Easy to Read LCD Screen, Monitor Aquarium, Fruit, Tap Water, Pool Water, 4 LR44 Batteries Included
Brand: SunGrow
How do I operate the PH and TDS meter?
Rinse electrodes with distilled water before using and blot it dry with a paper towel. Switch the device on and immerse the pH electrode in solution. Gently stir and wait for 10-30 seconds for the reading to stabilize. Switch off the pH meter and use distilled water to wipe the electrode. You can use the buffer solution in the cap of your PH and TDS meter to ensure accurate results for your next reading.
Can I use tap water for testing?
No! For accurate calibration, the pH and TDS meter set needs distilled water. However, there are two ways of obtaining distilled water. Either you can simply buy the distilled water bottle at the local grocery store or boil the water and collect its steam and let it condense. That condensed water will be pure water.
Can this be used to test soil?
No, It is for use in water only. The pen electrode can be directly inserted into water or conveniently dipped into a glass beaker of a measured solution of water. You can read the results on the LCD screen within 5 seconds. The sensory probe is made from a highly sensitive titanium alloy.
How do I maintain the meter?
Make sure to keep the electrodes clear for continued accurate readings. Rinse them in distilled or RO (reverse osmosis) water. If scale builds up, you can use a little vinegar to wipe them and then rinse again in RO water. Avoid touching the electrodes when rinsing to avert any damage. Always use a clear vessel that is well rinsed before collecting water for testing as even minute particles of detergent can give false TDS readings.

✔ TWO-IN-ONE SOLUTION --- This Ph and TDS combo meter by SunGrow will give you the best of both worlds in one device. This SunGrow pack includes electrodes and components needed to test both the pH and TDS of any water solution. It’s easy to use and has less equipment to deal with than two separate devices.
✔ ENERGY-SAVING, LIGHTWEIGHT AND PORTABLE DEVICES--- This PH and TDS meter has a handheld pen-type design that weighs barely 1.7 oz making it lightweight and portable. It comes with a handy case that you can easily slip into a backpack or work bag if you need to bring it with you. The meter shuts off automatically after 10-minutes of non-use to conserve batteries. (BATTERIES INCLUDED)
✔ CALIBRATION SCREWDRIVER INCLUDED --- These meters have been factory-calibrated and are designed to stay consistent. However, if you need to recalibrate your meter from time to time or you want to calibrate for different applications, you can use the screwdriver calibration tool included for continued accurate readings of your water. The TDS meter is most accurate when calibrated as close as possible to the sample to be tested.
✔ HIGHLY ACCURATE READINGS --- This pH and TDS professional level water test meter precisely measures and monitors the levels in your aquarium or other liquid solutions. The SunGrow pH and TDS meter will give you extremely accurate readings of the ph levels and Total Dissolved Solid within ± 2% range.
✔ MULTI-USE MEASURING TOOL--- This little tool is a valuable instrument for keeping a tab on various bodies of water. You can use it to make sure the level in your freshwater or saltwater aquarium is optimal for your fish, test water in a laboratory or for the hydroponically grown vegetables. You can also test the swimming pool, tap water, and spa water.
