EC Meters are an essential part of a grow room environment. The ESSENTIALS EC Meters are reliable and hold up to 10 past readings. This means growers are able to easily keep track of their EC readings, allowing for quick reactions to any abnormal readings.

Key USPs:

• Memory function for 10 readings allowing for readings to be tracked easily
• Water Resistant
• Shock Resistant
• Low Battery Alert
• Simple calibration using VitaLink Essentials Calibration Fluid

Feature and Benefit

• Memory Function - This allows a grower to check and log changes in the EC levels and correlate changes to potential alterations that may be taking place
• Water resistant - If the meter is accidently dropped in a solution, it will float and not break if taken out of the liquid immediately and dried quickly
• Shock resistant - Shock resistance allows for accidental dropping of the instrument without breaking
• Low Battery Alert - Gives a warning when there is 2 hours running time left, so you can change the battery in good time
• Energy saving shut-off - Turns off the meter when it is not in use
• Simple Calibration using VitaLink Essentials Calibration Fluid - Some meters can be complicated to calibrate. Simply dip the probe in the solution and press the CAL button until CAL appears onscreen.

Technical Specifications

Science Behind the Product
pH meters work by taking readings of the pH levels of a solution. They are equipped with sensors, which when immersed in a liquid give the reading of what levels the solution is at. It is pivotal to regularly calibrate the machine/sensors as it is a scientific piece of equipment which requires simple maintenance.

The ESSENTIALS Microscope (100x) is a powerful microscope that allows growers to easily identify plant species, as well as pests and diseases not visible to the naked eye, allowing faster remedial reactions and minimising potential damage to your plants. All of the microscopes are complete with high intensity lighting providing targeted illumination. The compact and durable designs allow easy storage in a busy grow room environment.

Key USPs:

• Allows growers to quickly and easily identify pests, diseases or plant species
• Provides targeted illumination
• Simple to use
• Super bright LED for optimal vision
• Robust Professional Casing
• Powerful 100 x zoom

Includes:
1 x ESSENTIALS Microscope (100x)
1 x Storage Case
1 x Multi Language Instruction Card

REQUIRES 2 X AA BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED!

The PLANT!T pH meter is reliable and easy to use. Small and lightweight, it is ideal for any growroom. The PLANT!T pH meter features: The LCD dual display shows pH and temperature readings. Calibration is easy with a one touch autocalibration and can give up to a 3 point calibration. The meter is rated IP65 (water resistant).

The Terra Aquatica liquid pH tester is perfect for easy testing and as a backup to your digital meter. Covering a wide range, from 4.0 to 8.5, the kit gives up to 500 tests with 30 mL.

The pH of your nutrient solution greatly affects the availability of nutrients within that solution. pH which is too high or too low can cause deficiencies in essential nutrients that plants need to grow. It can also negatively affect beneficial bacteria in your system or substrate.

The performance of a pH electrode or pH meter will change with time due to aging because as the electrode is used its coating degrades, to ensure it is working correctly, regular calibration is a must. If you are using your pH meter daily, you should calibrate it at least once a week.

To calibrate, use either VitaLink ESSENTIALS Buffer 4 or VitaLink ESSENTIALS Buffer 7. Using both of these buffer solutions will make your calibration more accurate.

The temperature of your solution will also affect the pH value. ESSENTIALS pH Meter has automatic temperature compensation. When calibrating, it is necessary that your pH meter and your calibration fluid have the same temperature. To achieve this, place them in the same room several hours prior to performing calibration.

The EC level of your nutrient solution will influence your plants’ ability to absorb water. If the EC is too high, the roots cannot bring in water and the high concentration of ions can be toxic for the plant. If EC is too low, the plants may starve from the lack of nutrients. Some plants are more susceptible to EC values out of the optimal range than others and each species has an EC threshold – beyond which, its yield is decreased. 

VitaLink ESSENTIALS CF Calibration Fluid has a concentration of CF 28 – EC 2.80 – PPM 1820 at 20˚C and is a necessary complement to your ESSENTIALS EC Meter. 

Regular calibration is necessary to maintain accuracy of your EC meter. If you are using your EC meter daily, you should calibrate it at least once a week. When calibrating, it is necessary that your EC meter and your calibration fluid have the same temperature. To achieve this, place them in the same room several hours prior to performing calibration. 

Prolong the accuracy and lifespan of the pH probe on your pH meter with VitaLink ESSENTIALS Meter Store.
pH meters are expensive. They will all degrade over time, but often degrade faster due to a lack of proper maintenance. With VitaLink ESSENTIALS Meter Store, keeping your pH probe in good condition and prolonging its useful lifespan is no longer a problem.

The pH probe on your pH meter should always be stored in VitaLink ESSENTIALS Meter Store when not in use to prevent it from drying out. Our Meter Store includes foam be to cut to the size of the meter cap to assist in keeping the probe wet.
