This was purchased for use in our pool, which includes a salt water generator. Unfortunately, I had to return it because I believed it was incorrect. The measurements taken at Leslie's Pool Supply were used to add salt to the pool. I added salt to reach the desired level of 3500ppm based on these measurements, and their reading was 3647ppm after that. I then purchased this tester to keep track of the salt level, and it revealed a 5500ppm salt level. I went to another pool store to confirm who was correct, and my level was told to be 4500. As a result, I assumed this tester was flawed and returned it. However, I had a nagging suspicion that the pool stores might be wrong as well, so I bought a Taylor sodium chloride test kit, which came back with a reading of 5600! As a result, this tester was the most accurate, while the pool store testing was wildly inaccurate, resulting in a major issue: I'm now required to dump nearly 20,000 gallons of water. to raise the water level in my pool! The moral of the story is that you should never rely on pool store measurements for anything, especially salt levels! Instead, use this test. The tester's only flaw is that it may require calibration from time to time, which necessitates the purchase of specific solutions. The lack of mention of this in the product description is misleading. However, I now know that it was accurate right out of the box, and I'm not sure how often or if calibration will be required in the future. I've included this detailed description to assist others in making this purchase, as well as to make amends for returning a device that I claimed was inaccurate but actually works perfectly! I only gave it 4 stars because the possibility of calibration was not mentioned.
I have a brackish tank for crabs, and I need to keep the salinity within a certain range. The pet store failed to inform me that fiddler crabs cannot survive in freshwater, and despite the fact that I had no prior experience with this type of aquarium and had to learn quickly, this meter has proven to be extremely useful. I prepared it according to the instructions, including purchasing a jug of distilled water for the initial cleaning. br>br>Before I put my faith in the results and added marine salt to the tank, I had my well service test it against their equipment, and it appeared to be very similar to their tester. I've been slowly adding salt to the tank (weeks at a time) and testing the water after each addition. The results I'm getting show that salinity and SG are gradually increasing, and the crabs are thriving. br>br>I understand that crabs are more tolerant of tank conditions, and brackish water can vary greatly, so I can't recommend this for a saltwater tank, but it worked for me.
" is a misleading title. It DOES NOT CHECK pH but has a high accuracy pH. In any case, it appears that Amazon will let anything fly. It is clearly false advertising because it claims to be a pH meter but does not have the feature. Now I must print another label, return the product, and wait for my money to be refunded. I'm not surprised in the least. Furthermore, the product is clearly made in a Chinese sweatshop at a low cost. I'd be hesitant to trust it to be water resistant, much less waterproof.
There is no factory calibration certificate, and they do not send you the calibration solution when it is new. The temperature is about 4 degrees off, and the salinity is 2 points off. With a saltwater tank, this is crucial. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it. If they made good on their promise and sent me the solution, I would change my mind.
It appears to be in good working order.
For the money, this is a fantastic product. Works efficiently and quickly. I had a minor problem setting it to Fahrenheit. However, after reading the instructions, I was able to make the necessary changes without difficulty. I would suggest it! Also, the delivery was very quick. It was delivered a day ahead of schedule.
It was the perfect size and a fantastic product.
