NEW! The PH-80 is an economically
priced, reliable pH meter that is ideal for testing applications such as
hydroponics & gardening, pools & spas, aquariums & reef tanks,
water ionizers, drinking water and more.
FEATURES
- Measures pH and Temperature
- One-touch automatic digital calibration
- Water resistant
- Simultaneous temperature display
- Sleek, lightweight design
- Large LCD display
- Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)
- Auto-off function, data-hold function and low-battery
indicator
- Includes storage solution
in a sponge embedded in a translucent cap
- Factory Calibrated: The PH-80 meter is factory calibration to pH 7.0.
The meter can easily and quickly be recalibrated with digital calibration
to pH 4.0, 7.0 or 10.0 using the meter's simple one-touch process.
- Includes a cap, batteries, storage
solution and pH 7.0 buffer

FAQs
The sponge in my cap is
dry. Is this okay?
Yes. The PH-80 is shipped with the sponge dry. Prior to use, pour a
small amount of the electrode storage
solution (from the Mylar packet)
into the sponge so that it's moist. Put the cap back on and allow the
sensor to soak for 15 minutes standing upright. Additional storage
solution is available for purchase. (NOTE: The sponge is simply for
retaining the storage solution so that it doesn't spill. It should be
kept in the cap.)
How often do I need to
calibrate?
All pH meters should be calibrated anywhere from before every use to at least
once a month. The frequency of calibration depends on usage and
application, but you should calibrate at least once per month for proper
results and a longer lifespan of your meter. A free packet of pH 7.0
buffer is included with the meter. Additional pH buffers for calibration are available for purchase. Please consult
the user's guide for calibration instructions.
I use my meter for
hydroponics. Does it need any special care?
Yes. Nutrients in a hydroponics reservoir will quickly adhere to the
sensor and throw off readings. It is very important to rinse the sensor
in distilled water after each use. Otherwise, you'll just be measuring
the nutrients that are already on the sensor.
Can I use the PH-80 for
testing distilled, DI or RO water?
No. The meter is not designed for pure or very low TDS water. The
water needs at least 10 ppm of TDS (S of EC) to pick up a
reading.
NOTE for owners of the
PH-80: Your PH-80 is shipped
with the sponge in the cap dry. Prior to use, pour a small amount of
storage solution from the Mylar packet into the sponge so that the sponge is
moist (not dripping wet). Put the cap back on and allow to soak for 15
minutes (standing upright) prior to use. Additional electrode storage solution is available for purchase.
