pH and EC Metres
The product category for EC and pH measurement offers a wide range of devices and tools for accurate measurement of electrical conductivity (EC) and pH values in various liquids. Digital pH/EC metres are excellent tools for convenient and accurate monitoring of pH and electrical conductivity (EC) in aqueous solutions. These metres are widely used in agriculture, laboratories, hydroponic growing, aquatics and other fields where it is important to maintain accurate values of these parameters. However, it is important to be aware that the quality of digital metres can vary. Cheaper variants may have lower accuracy and a shorter service life. For less demanding users, we also offer drip pH metres.

For the health of your plants, an optimal growing environment is key. In practice, you can achieve this, among other things, by accurately measuring pH and EC values using the appropriate metres from this category.
By measuring the pH value, we ensure environmental stability, as unnecessary fluctuations in this value have an adverse effect on plants. Plants prefer slightly acidic pH, usually in the range of 5.5 – 6.5, with the number 7 representing neutral pH. If we measure the correct values, we can be sure that our plants are able to absorb the nutrients we supply them with effectively and can develop to the full.
By measuring electrical conductivity (EC), we control the amount of nutrients in the solution. Again, we need to stay within optimal values. Too high EC means overfertilisation, which results in irreversible damage, or burning, of plants. The opposite extreme results in a nutrient deficiency. Individual plant species have their own specific requirements for the ideal EC values, which you will measure using EC metres.
Recommendation: If you do not know what value is right for your plant, start growing at a value of 1, then you can gradually increase the fertilisation intensity and watch how the plant is doing. If signs of overfertilisation appear, reduce the next watering.
To ensure the measurement is absolutely accurate, use calibration, cleaning and maintenance solutions, which will also extend the service life of every metre. pH can be adjusted using suitable products.
