Questions & Answers

Is this something that can be used in a pool?

It would be fine if it was a saltwater pool.

So far, I've left the new hydrometer in aquarium water for 12 hours to season it, but the readings are still abnormally high. ?

I've never had an issue with this drop hydrometer, but if it's still high after 12 hours, rinse it in cool tap water and dunk it again; if it's still high, you'll need to remix your salt or add more RO water until it reaches what you want it to be, aim for. 25 to . 26 range

This will be used to test my fresh water aquarium, which I have filled with softener water. Is it going to be successful?

It's for checking your water's salt levels. You add salt if you're doing freshwater, but you don't need it if you're doing saltwater.

Is it possible to leave it inside the aquarium to take continuous measurements?

No, it is not possible. To get an accurate salinity reading, you must pour the water to the read line.

This is the first thing you should do

5/5

Allow the product to sit in your tank for one day before taking any readings, according to a small line on the packaging. br>br>It truly requires this "seasoning" time. " Before I gave it a day to rest in my tank, the results were incorrect, but everything was fine after the break-in period. in time.

It's difficult to work with

3/5

The product is not expensive and is a must-have for saltwater hobbits. br>It works fine, but it can be difficult to determine whether the reading is correct. br>For example, it will show 1. After that, it will show 1 and then 028. What I understand is that even a tiny bubble trapped in water can cause inaccuracy in the reading, and sometimes a very small bubble not visible to the naked eye can also hurt the accuracy of the reading, making it difficult to use. br>br>However, I managed to get it to work, and I used to perform 8 to 10 tests before confirming it was giving the correct result. br>br>Overall, this is a low-cost product that can get the job done, you just.

It's accurate and simple to use

5/5

I've tried almost every method for determining specific gravity, including costly refractometers. Aside from the high price, those require frequent calibration and are inconvenient to use. br>There is no need to calibrate the floating swing arm coralife hydrometers. After seasoning it with saltwater for the first 24 hours and then rinsing it in freshwater after each use, you'll be good to go for years of testing. I've put them through their paces with refractometers, and they're spot on - As we all know, having perfect accuracy is far less important than maintaining stability.

It's off by 6 PPT, which is far too much to be useful or safe

3/5

I'd been using this exact item for a long time and found it to be very accurate, so I needed another one for my mixing station. The new one I just got is way off; the solution I was using was 31 PPT, and the new Coralife is reading 37 PPT, which is far too far off to be used safely. But only for $9 would I return it. 00 is not a worthwhile investment of time.

I have two of these deep six hygrometers, both seasoned for 24 hours as directed on the back of the package, but both units read different specific gravity readings with the same water - inaccurate, don't trust

3/5

both of which are incorrect! I was getting 1 with a Milwaukee MA887 that had been calibrated correctly. I read Deep Six on page 021 of the book. Deep Six II reads 026 and 026 respectively. br>br>I'm not sure I can trust these gadgets. Buy a Milwaukee MA887 or even a refractometer with the money you saved. Purchase these items at your own risk.

Solid

5/5

These testers have been around for a long time and continue to be effective. A refractometer and a digital salinity tester were used to determine the salinity. The refractometer was spot on, but the salinity tester I was using was completely useless. I was able to prove it with the help of this. The only drawback is having to fill it so full of water. It's always possible to pour it back into the tank, but that's a lot messier than using a refractometer. br>br>However, if you're on a shoestring budget, this is the most accurate test available.

It was disappointing

3/5

I bought this tester to check the salt level in my pool, but the reading on the meter isn't even close to what other devices are reporting. It has the capability to handle my pool's salinity range, but it showed no salt in the pool. It was inexpensive, but it is of no use to anyone. DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU WANT TO TEST THE SALT IN YOUR POOL.

Don't throw away your money; instead, save it and purchase a telescope

3/5

Don't waste your money on this; instead, spend a little more and get one of the telescopes, because I moved and broke my old one in the process, so I bought this, and as a result, I lost some fish because the accuracy was so off that I used it in brackish water and didn't realize it until it was too late. After fighting my tank for two months, I finally went out and bought a telescope, only to find out it was a waste of money. Save your money and invest in a better unit.
