ph and ec meters
Soluble pH Calibration BUffer Solutions - contains 12 sachets: - 3 pH 4.0 sachets - 6 pH 7.0 sachets - 3 pH 10.01 sachets.
The Ph and ec meters are a professional electronic device used to measure the pH, i.e. the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) of a liquid or a solid.
Controlling the pH value is one of the main factors to keep under control to maintain the ion concentration required according to use. These water ph meters are often used for swimming pools or aquariums, but also for plant growth . In fact, an optimal ph value allows constant growth of your growing, both indoors and outdoors.
A pH meter is a basic tool when you own a swimming pool or are an aquarium hobbyist . An acidic or too basic ph could compromise the health of your fish. Also in domestic swimming pools, maintaining a constantly acidic pH means that the water is safe from pathogens.
On the other hand, the ph meter for water or soil in hydroponic growing or agriculture in general is essential.
PH meter for hydroponic
When growing both indoors and outdoors, soil and water analyzes and therefore a ph meter for hydroponic are essential for optimal values both in cultivation and in aquariums.
An unbalanced PH , in fact, means stress for the plant being grown, as its roots will have difficulty assimilating the nutrients and, consequently, the plant will more easily develop diseases and parasites.
The pH value of a soil is measured on a scale from 0 to 14:
- Acidic soil: pH less than 7;
- Neutral medium: pH 7;
- Basic or alkaline soil: pH greater than 7.
The pH varies according to the substrate and the soil where it is grown. In outdoor growing, for example, the acidity and alkalinity of the soil depend greatly on the climatic conditions of the cultivation area.
Wet and high rainfall areas have generally acidic soils (pH will be around values below 6), while in arid and dry areas the soils will be basic (pH above 7).
The ideal value of the substrate, on the other hand, should be around 6.5. In fact, most plants prefer a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. However each plant is unique and may require a particular interval of this value to grow properly.
Hydroponic ph tester for water and soil
On the market there are different types of hydroponic pH testers such as, for example, the digital or drip PH Tester: two highly recommended tools if you want to start a home cultivation.
As regards the functioning of an electronic pH tester, the steps to follow are these:
- Insert the tester with probe into the soil or water solution to be measured;
- Wait for the reader to stabilize, providing the reading of the parameters concerned.
To ensure that your digital Ph testers work properly, you need to remember to calibrate them frequently and always keep them clean with the help of our calibration and cleaning solutions, which you can find within this category.
