Bling Designs (Pty) Ltd Digital Aquarium Water Test Kit  (pH Test)

The 4 in 1 Digital display meter (pH, EC,TDS and Temperature) is a versatile instrument used for measuring multiple water quality parameters. Here’s a brief overview of each parameter: pH: This measures the acidity or alkalinity of the water. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Values below 7 indicate acidic conditions, while values above 7 indicate alkaline conditions. EC (Electrical Conductivity): This measures the ability of water to conduct electrical current, which is directly related to the concentration of dissolved salts or ions in the water. High EC values generally indicate high concentrations of dissolved salts, while low EC values suggest purer water. TDS (Total Dissolved Solids): TDS represents the total concentration of dissolved substances in water, including salts, minerals, and organic matter. It is usually expressed in parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per Liter (mg/L). TDS is related to EC, but TDS meters convert the EC measurement to TDS values using a conversion factor. Temperature: This measures the temperature of the water, which can affect the readings of pH, EC, and TDS. Many meters include automatic temperature compensation (ATC) to adjust readings based on temperature variations. Most meters require calibration for accurate measurements. pH meters are typically calibrated with pH buffer solutions, while EC and TDS meters may be calibrated with standard solutions of known conductivity or TDS values. WARNING... Use only DISTILLED WATER when calibrating the device as tap or bottled water will result in incorrect calibration.
