Aqua Master Tools - digital measuring instruments from the Netherlands

Precise measurement is indispensable for flawless yields in indoor plant cultivation, and growers primarily use digital measuring instruments for this purpose. The brand Aqua Master Tools, active on the market for four years now, has received excellent feedback from users thanks to the quality and reliability of its products virtually since its market debut. In this article we will therefore focus both on the most important features that individual Aqua Master Tools combined meters are characterized by and on the practical use of specific devices.

So what makes these pH meters, EC meters and thermometers in compact devices for measuring acidity, electrical conductivity or temperature truly exceptional? And why are these measuring instruments increasingly popular with growers? Growers with various levels of experience, whether working with hydroponics or other cultivation techniques, appreciate not only high measurement accuracy but also overall build quality, long service life, and comfortable everyday use.

In all these respects, the relatively young, progressive Dutch company Aqua Master Tools has brought growers new and affordable options. Since 2018 it has been producing complete products that let you keep cultivation processes under control without needing to buy a range of extra devices and batteries. This saves time and energy and helps ensure you harvest the yield you dreamed of at the end of the cultivation cycle.

Besides adding the specific new items from this Dutch manufacturer listed below to our range, we previously prepared the following separate articles so that your pH and EC meters, whether from Aqua Master Tools or another manufacturer of measuring equipment, reliably serve you as long as possible and always display correct values. We recommend reading:

• How to use calibration solutions and pH meters?
• What is a storage solution (KCL)?
• How to measure conductivity correctly (EC)?

Why choose pH and EC meters from Aqua Master Tools?

1. A wide selection of affordable products depending on what and how often you will measure.
2. User-friendly, pre-calibrated devices with modern software and batteries that enable fast and accurate measurements.
3. Versatile use from liquid plant nutrient solutions through aquariums and ponds to pools or hot tubs. Suitable for growers working with hydroponics, coconut coir, or traditional soil cultivation.
4. Clear instructions for use and calibration for each model (see below).
5. Above-standard warranty. The manufacturer (AMT) provides a warranty twice as long as usual. Why most manufacturers only offer a six-month warranty is discussed in the calibration solutions article (see above).

We will now introduce the individual variants from the basic models up to the unique “COMBO”. For each device you can click its name (e.g. AMT E50 Pro) to go to the detailed product description, where you will also find detailed information and manufacturer instructional videos.

• Aqua Master Tools Combo Pen P110 Pro already represents a comprehensive solution for measuring the most important values, i.e. EC, pH and temperature, with improved software for even faster readings. The robust housing again consists of the parts listed above. The combined digital pen meter, like the basic variants, is supplied fully pre-calibrated and contains three button batteries.
• Aqua Master Tools P160 Pro costs only slightly more than the previous model, yet it is a combined digital meter that, in addition to pH, EC and temperature, is also ideal for measuring TDS and PPM. As shown in the image, this fully pre-calibrated device is delivered with the necessary buffered solutions for later calibration and other accessories (see the detailed product description). A major advantage of this model is the analog EC calibration, which means the calibration solution does not need to be at an exact temperature (25 °C).

• Aqua Master Tools P50 Pro looks almost identical to the model above, as it is made from the same parts and is similarly priced. The key difference is that the P50 Pro probe is designed for measuring pH instead of electrical conductivity. It is therefore a digital pH meter and thermometer in one.

After the basic but highly reliable devices for separate measurement of EC or pH and liquid temperature, it is time to combine everything together! The following variants give growers precisely that option:

• Aqua Master Tools S300 Pro - while we have so far shown modern devices for measuring important values in liquids (nutrient solution, water, etc.), this waterproof model stands out for growers in its ability to measure pH and temperature of soil or coconut substrate. The replaceable probe (electrode) of unprecedented quality features a BNC connector.

• The most technically advanced high-tech novelty from Aqua Master Tools is the model called P700 Pro 2. It is a combined digital meter for pH, EC, CF, PPM and temperature of the nutrient solution and comes with two probes. It is ideal for long-term use with low maintenance requirements and is equipped with a built-in rechargeable battery. The robust construction is dominated by a large display where all necessary values can be easily read. The device components are shown in the image: 1. Light on/off button, 2. Mode button, 3. Celsius/Fahrenheit button, 4. EC electrode port, 5. pH electrode port, 6. USB port, 7. Power on/off button, 8. pH CAL button, 9. EC CAL button, 10. EC electrode, 11. pH electrode.

We already linked articles above that explain, among other things, how to maximize probe lifespan. When a probe does wear out, we also offer replacement probes (electrodes) for Aqua Master Tools pH and EC meters. The manufacturer also recommends the original Aqua Master Tools EC calibration solution 3.0.
