Does this product come with a warranty? It seems nearly impossible to find a reliable, yet affordable PH meter. Might this be the one?

Don't know about the warranty. I ran Hanna equipment for a couple of years and this unit has served me well since I made the switch a few years ago. The wire connection at the probe takes some abuse by bending with a lot of use and will eventually fail. I now create a loop at the top of the probe and tie off the cable to give it some slack. The probes should now last even longer. great product!

i have only used them for testing drinking water and they do not work. the ph level does not change colors. you should go to a home depot type store and get a soil testing kit from their garden department. i should have returned this product but since i forgot too now it's wasted money.

Great name! Thanks for the question. The ph range is from 6.0-10(in the red) - end padThis test kit is nice and easy, tests for Bacteria, lead, pesticide, nitrates and PH. I have been testing evrey 2-3 months since I am in PA along the fracking belt and recently my township has converted to Philadelphia public water, no more well water. All the best!

Yes, this product comes with a "one-year worry-free warranty". You should be able to contact the seller to make an exchange.

Depends,A year or so maybe.I would test the PH with another testing kit from time to time.

First, they have test strips on Amazon for less than $3 that have good reviews and they go below 5.5. I have not used them myself but just ordered some. I use soil and not hydroponics so I'm not sure how to get water to Ph 5.5. They have solutions on Amazon that are specifically made to adjust Ph. And believe it or not human urine can be used to reduce Ph. It sounds ridiculous but it actually works. You just have to experiment with mixing amounts to get to 5.5. And have a bunch of test strips ready so you can test as you add.

No: range starts at 6.2-6.5. Get a ph meter, I did and works great. About $20 bucks on Amazon

It depends on how often you use it. I try to follow the recommendations that are printed in the instructions. My experience is to replace them every 3 months if you are using 24 oz of water a day. You can also buy a pH tester paper or drops to make sure the stick is working to the pH level you want to specifically reach.

Not sure...I imagine it has some sort of warranty. But I will let you know that I am very pleased with this scale. Glad I bought it.

yes just this. how ever you should also use "PH Calibration Solution (PH 4.01)" to ensure your pH pen is set right.

There was no warranty statement in the box it came in. There is nothing on their website about a warranty for this product, either.

FROM HM DIGITAL: The accuracy of the PH-80 is + / - 2%. It is factory calibrated to pH 7.0. The meter can be easily re-calibrated with digital calibration to pH 4.0, 7.0 or 10.0. 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.

You have to calibrate it. It was beyond me. But i had a friend who'd done well in chemistry. He was unsuccessful in getting a reading that made sense, but I blame that more on him, than the reader. I would look for a pre-calibrated meter for someone with limited tech skills. i needed it to test PH in pond water. I have several mud ponds. The PH is a little different in each of them.

I really haven't looked for the warranty. I haven't had any problems with it at all. Well okay just a little water got on the resistor and that has to be replaced.

This device has no temperature compensation mechanisms. If I recall, it suggests that pH values should be measured at "room temperature," however vague such a statement is.

of course they can not warranty its effectiveness but as far as it functioning properly, there is not much that can go wrong. It is a good product, my second one. I gave first one away the first time I moved away from a northern latitude, but now I'm back, so I recommend it. The price is reasonable. I don't think I even looked to see if there was a warranty.

I've purchased mine on Feb 2014 and I'm a heavy user of this product. Just recently (a few days ago) i tested the water and it gave me a 8-9ph (the test consists on drops you add to a little bit of water to check the ph, and its color coded: purple bring ph 10 and blue 9 and so on. Mine was blue) you can purchase the filters (pack of 3) for less than $80. Hope this helps
