FAQ's
-
What types of meters does Aqua Master Tools offer for hydroponics?
Aqua Master Tools provides a comprehensive range of measuring devices crucial for hydroponic growing. Their offerings include pH meters (like the P50 Pro), EC (Electrical Conductivity) meters (like the E50 Pro), and combination meters (such as the P110 Pro and P700 Pro 2) that measure pH, EC, and temperature. They also offer specialised substrate meters and essential calibration solutions.
-
How often should I calibrate my Aqua Master Tools pH and EC meters?
For maximum accuracy, it is recommended to calibrate your Aqua Master Tools meters at least once a month, or whenever you replace an electrode. pH meters typically require a 2-point auto-calibration using pH 7.01 and pH 4.01 buffer solutions. EC meters usually require a 1-point calibration with an EC 1.4 solution. Always ensure your calibration solutions are at approximately 25°C for the most precise results.
-
What are the key features of Aqua Master Tools meters?
Aqua Master Tools meters are designed with precision and user-friendliness in mind. Key features include high accuracy (e.g., pH ±0.1 pH), automatic temperature compensation (ATC) for reliable readings, IP67 waterproof ratings (meaning they can withstand submersion), and easily replaceable electrodes to extend the life of your device. Many models also feature auto-power off and clear digital displays.
-
How should I store my Aqua Master Tools pH electrode?
Proper storage is crucial for extending the lifespan and maintaining the accuracy of your pH electrode. It is highly recommended to store your pH meter in an upright position with the protective cap filled with KCI (potassium chloride) storage solution. Never store the electrode in distilled water or reverse osmosis (RO) water, as this can dry out the electrode and damage its sensitive glass bulb.
-
What should I do before using my new Aqua Master Tools pH meter for the first time?
Before its initial use, it is advised to soak your new Aqua Master Tools pH meter's electrode in tap water for approximately 12 hours. This conditioning step helps to properly hydrate the glass bulb of the electrode, ensuring it provides accurate and stable pH readings from the very first measurement.
-
Can I replace the electrode on my Aqua Master Tools meter?
Yes, many Aqua Master Tools meters, including popular pH and EC models, are designed with replaceable electrodes. This feature is highly beneficial as it allows you to extend the life of your meter without needing to purchase an entirely new unit if the electrode wears out or becomes damaged.
