- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2022Color: pH&Temp Monitor(Upgraded)Verified PurchaseI’m using this in a hydroponic setup. It works great. One difficult thing is measuring out the calibration solutions. I have access to a lab, with scales and distilled water, but I don’t know how others would do this easily.
The unit performs very well. Initial calibration is important to get accurate pH readings. But once you set it up, you don’t need to recalibrate often. The only time I needed to recalibrate was when I forgot to store the probe in the solution. Important: you never want to store the pH probe dry. It will become Un-calibrated and lose proper function if done repeatedly.
Overall, it’s a really nice pH probe at a reasonable cost.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2024Color: pH&Temp Monitor(Upgraded)Verified Purchasejust got this for DWC cloner. Out the box was calibrated to 10.15 when dropped in 10.01 buffer solution. So, pretty accurate right out the box. i did calibrate to 10.01 as per instructions, auto calibrated to 4.01 as the stick was placed in the next buffer solution. I am happy about batteries as I can put this where. I'm not sure if i would be happier if there was a dedicated power supply option. we shall see how well this holds up and how long it holds up for. Right now, I have it and will leave it in the cloner and monitor it a few times a day.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2024Color: pH&Temp Monitor(Upgraded)Verified PurchaseI have purchased many budget ph meters. By far the best. It has been on the same set of batteries it came with over a year ago. I have dropped, submerged, and just unintentionally abraded this thing along every bend and it's is just now starting to show signs of needing a replacement probe. Does have about a .2 variance depending on how well the probe is seated in its socket. Would highly recommend for those who cannot afford more expensive options.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2021Color: pH&Temp Monitor(Upgraded)Verified PurchaseWow I had it for a week and so far its working great! Exact temperature as my other thermometers and exact PH as my other other PH meters that were twice the price. This one costs less and has less wires because its battery powered and has a back light, the other ones I had don't so I really like this PH monitor.
Update: sadly it stopped giving me accurate readings after a couple of months. The other ones I have from other brand have worked perfectly for about 3 years.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2022Color: pH&Temp Monitor(Upgraded)Verified PurchaseI've been using this meter for ~ 4 months now, and have checked it against my BlueLab PH meter whenever it had a suspicious reading. I'm happy to report that the readings always compared very closely. I HAVE noticed that it took about 10X longer to get a stable reading compared to the BlueLab which was instantaneous by comparison. Since I'm using it for long term readings in my nutrient reservoir, this is not a problem for me.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2021Color: pH&Temp Monitor(Upgraded)Verified PurchaseI have had nothing but success with this PH meter. The cheap yellow ones consistently die in half the lifespan of this mounted one. I am so stoked to be able to just glance at it and. Get what I need. I hope this company makes another with tds/edc on it, too! 100% would buy! ;)
Word to the wise--clean it in purified or distilled water every couple weeks (submerge probe and swish it around). Save the tiny water bottle the probe comes in as well. Whenever you flush and refill your tank, wash the probe then use some fresh, pure water to fill the probe cover bottle 2/3rds full. Then wet the grommet of the probe cover ca0, slide the cap up the probe, submerge the probe in the water-filled bottle all the way, screw on the bottle to the cap. No pH meter likes air. This system completely removes that variable do I find the 3 cent cover it comes with to be a really good added benefit. Adding to this that it has died after about 2 years of constant use. Attempting to get a replacement pH probe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Präzise und einfach in der Handhabung
Color: pH&Temp Monitor(Upgraded)Verified PurchaseSeit wenigen Wochen habe ich dieses Gerät in einem Dennerle Scapers Tank, 55 Liter, im Einsatz. Das Gerät kam incl. Sonde wohlbehalten bei mir an. Der Sonden Kopf war feucht und durch einen Spezialverschluss gesichert, was schon einmal ein sehr gutes Zeichen war. Der Hersteller schreibt das die Sonde vorkallibriert sei, und sie war es auch. Nach dem anschließen ging die Anzeige des Gerätes, und zwar sowohl die pH Anzeige, als auch die Temperatur Anzeige munter rauf und runter. Dieses war aber auch in der App (deutsche Sprache!) nachzulesen. Nach kurzer Zeit stabilisierte sich die Anzeige und ich habe einen Tropfentest zur Sicherheit durchgeführt. Und siehe da, ein 100% korrekter Wert. Auch die Temperaturanzeige stimmte perfekt. Ich möchte noch auf etwas ganz wichtiges Hinweisen. Wenn sie das Gerät erhalten, ist der Sonden Kopf in einer Flüssigkeit gelagert und mit einem Spezialverschluss versehen. Achten sie bitte darauf das ihre Sonde nicht trocken geliefert wurde. Dann ist die Sonde komplett unbrauchbar. Einmal trocken und sie können die Sonde entsorgen ! Wie schon erwähnt wurde meine Sonde im perfekten Zustand geliefert. Nach dem Entfernen des Sonden-Kopf-Schutzes schwenken sie diesen bitte unbedingt kurz in destilliertem Wasser bevor sie diese in ihrem Aquarium einbringen. Ich kann dieses Produkt, zu diesem unschlagbaren Preis, sehr empfehlen. Viel genauer als jeder Teststreifen, und auf Dauer preiswerter sowie komfortabler als Tropfentests. Aber Achtung, die Sonden halten nicht ewig (i.d.R. max. 1 Jahr). Der Anschluss ist jedoch so genormt das sie handelsübliche Ersatzsonden namhafter Hersteller nachordern können, und diese dann austauschen. Der Hersteller empfiehlt eine regelmäßige Kalibrierung etwa alle 3 Monate. Es wird entsprechendes Pulver mitgeliefert, sie benötigen lediglich noch destilliertes Wasser. Die Kalibrierung selbst ist kinderleicht und selbst für Anfänger problemlos zu bewerkstelligen. Dadurch das dieses Gerät batteriebetrieben ist, kann es überall (nicht nur am Beckenrand) installiert werden. Die Kabel von Temperatursonde als auch pH Sonde sind so lang das diese in jedem Aquarienschrank gut verlegt werden können. Die hier veröffentlichten negativen Rezensionen kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Wie schon gesagt, achten sie darauf das der pH Sonden Kopf feucht bei ihnen ankommt.
