Keep track of your water over time!
With this meter with Smart WIFI APP measures:
Measured value |
What is being measured+ |
pH |
Acidity - Below 7 is acidic over basic |
ORP |
If the liquid is oxidizing or alkaline |
EC |
The amount of nutrients (nutrition) |
TSD |
Dissolved solids in the water (pollution) measure the quality of drinking water |
RH% |
Relative humidity in the room |
CF |
The amount of salts in the water. (same as EC*10) |
Temp |
The water temperature, can be displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit |
Download the "Tuya" APP, with WiFi connection you can see current data, historical data, abnormal high and low values and set alarm on mobile phone etc. Connect to your phone in seconds and you can get PH, ORP, EC, PPM , CF, humidity and TEMP values. This makes testing more accurate and convenient.
Easy to use: All measurement values are taken at the same time, with the electrode in the water you get a quick answer on the LCD screen.
The backlight is supported for easy reading even in low light.
Easily with an APP: Record data for a long time, easy to compare and analyze and find causes / solutions.
If you have problems that you do not understand the cause of or want to maximize your results, this meter is worth its weight in gold. In the Swedish manual, you get a list of which values different crops thrive best in.
The correct pH value is important for your plants to feel good and absorb nutrients in the best way.
The EC value shows how much nutrition there is in the water. Some plants are hungrier than others and use more nutrients than water, and some will over-fertilize if you add the same amount of nutrients each time. With this meter you don't have to guess.
The neutral PH value is 7.0. Most plants thrive best between 5.2-6.5.

When growing Hydroponically, it is important to keep track of the EC value, especially how it changes. The EC meter is a way to measure how much nutrients and water your plants take up. If you have an EC starting value, you can check after 1-2 days how much nutrition and water your plants are drinking. If the EC value drops, the plants drink more nutrients than water and then you need to top up with more nutrients. If the EC value rises after 1-2 days the plants need more water.
Also keep an eye on the color of the leaves. If the plant turns dark green and the leaves get burnt at the tips, it is a sign of too much nutrition (too high EC value) you need to add more water.
If, on the other hand, the plants are too light in color, the cause is often too little nutrition (too low EC). Is the pH value correct? (too high or low prevents the plant from absorbing nutrients) then you add more nutrients.
With a meter, you don't have to guess and can understand if it's not growing as it should.
It comes with three bags of Buffer powder. With these you easily mix into calibration liquid to calibrate your meter. If you need more calibration fluid, you can buy more bags here
