Great for Aquariums, Ponds, Aquaponics and Hydroponics! a pH meter is the most accurate way to test your pH.
pH (Potential Hydrogen) is the measure of whether your pond water is acidic or alkaline. Having a pH between 6.5 to 8.5 is the normal range for a pond system. If your pH is below 6.5 this is acidic and if it reaches below 4 this can be disastrous for your fish and is unlikely that they will survive. pH over 8.5 is alkaline. The test for pH is only an indication as the pH will vary at different times of the day as it is affected by photosynthesis and the respiration of flora and fauna. pH will generally be at its lowest at dawn and highest at dusk. pH can swing from acidic to alkaline if there is no presence of calcium carbonate in the water which helps to control pH levels. These swings are extremely dangerous as they can interfere with the basic body functions of the fish which leaves them vulnerable to stress and disease.
You can use the pH Meter to monitor the pH for your plants on a daily basis. As plants grow, demand for nutrients increase. This means the pH can fluctuate and therefore should be tested and adjusted to maintain an optimum working nutrient solution. Nutrient requirements vary from plant to plant; therefore the ideal pH varies from plant to plant also.
The pH Meter comes with pH 7 and pH 4 Buffer for calibration.
