pH and EC metres Aqua Master Tools
The EC and pH measurement product category offers a wide range of devices and tools for accurately measuring electrical conductivity (EC) and pH levels in various liquids. Digital pH/EC metres are excellent tools for conveniently and accurately monitoring pH and electrical conductivity (EC) in aqueous solutions. These metres are widely used in agriculture, laboratories, hydroponic growing, aquariums and other fields where it is important to maintain accurate readings of these parameters. However, it is important to bear in mind that the quality of digital metres can vary. Cheaper options may have lower accuracy and a shorter lifespan. We also offer drop-test pH kits for less demanding users.

An optimal growing environment is essential for the health of your plants. In practice, you can achieve this, among other things, by accurately measuring pH and EC levels using the relevant metres in this category.
Measuring the pH level helps us maintain a stable environment, as unnecessary fluctuations in this level have an adverse effect on plants. Plants prefer a slightly acidic pH, generally in the range of 5.5 – 6.5, while 7 is neutral pH. If we measure the correct levels, we can be sure that our plants are able to absorb the nutrients we provide efficiently and can develop to their full potential.
Measuring electrical conductivity (EC) allows us to check the amount of nutrients in the solution. Again, we need to stay within the optimal range. An EC that is too high means over-fertilisation, which results in irreversible damage to the plants, or nutrient burn. The opposite extreme results in a nutrient deficiency. Different plant species have specific requirements for ideal EC levels, which you can measure using EC metres.
Recommendation: If you do not know what level is right for your plant, start growing at a level of 1. You can gradually increase the fertilising intensity and observe how the plant is doing. If signs of over-fertilisation appear, reduce the amount with the next watering.
For completely accurate measurements, use calibration, cleaning and maintenance solutions, which also extend the lifespan of every metre. pH can be adjusted using suitable products.
