Can i store my ph meter in this? is the 4.0 ph solution also needed? will be used to test a koi pond.

You should calibrate the meter with both the 7.0 and the 4.0 solution and you can store in the solution closest to the PH you are going for. Hope this helped.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to build my pond yet.... But I'm told this will work very well for a Koi pond. I hope to have mine finished this summer. My source is a gentleman that builds ponds and systems for using the ponds as a source of fertilizer for the landscaping..... Hope this helps.

This meter DOES NOT MEASURE pH....!!! The meter case is plastic and waterproof but it does not have a separate plastic case or box.. It is a great meter for what it was designed to do..

It should come with a start up kit but if not fill with water and purchase a water test strips at you local pool supply and follow their reccomendations for adjusting your ph and so on! Your local pool supply can be your best friend for small pools. It is harder to keep the water "balanced" in a small pool. I suggest a good pool vaccum as well. Small pools get algae quicker and the filters do not do a great job of filtering out the dirt so invest in a good pool vac! You won't be sorry!

I use this product in my aquarium to lower the ph. My tap water comes out at 7.5 and this product lowered it to 6.0 (my RO water comes out at 6.4). I plan to spread the used moss over my yard. I had no way to determine if its sterilized, but I did examine it and there are no apparent side effects to my fish.

You need 2 things for your meter. 1) A bottle storage solution and 2) Bottles of calibration solution. For the storage solution, do a search on Amazon for "electrode storage solution" and buy a bottle of one of the solutions that come up. For the calibration solution, search "pH calibration solution" and buy a bottle of whichever solution you need. If measuring the pH of acidic things, you really only need to get a bottle of 4.01 and 7.00 calibration solutions. If measuring alkaline things, get a bottle of 7.00 and 10.00 solutions.

pH on this meter is 0-8. no calibration needed, just cleaning with pad before use.

I keep my lid filled w/water next to the sink and I keep my meter in a cup of water so sensor doesn't get dry ever. Even if you kept the sponge top on it should be kept wet and no need to replace sponge ever because you'd have to buy an entirely new pen. I use mine almost daily to ph my water for plants..

It did cause slight PH fluctuations but what I did was keep a very close eye on my fish. I was ready to go if something happened but for me the shifts in PH were very very minor. I ran an air stone at night to desaturate excess Co2 since plants don't use it at night. Without taking any responsibility if you lose fish, I think you are safe. I keep ghost shrimp and a male Betta in a 20 gallon and they are fine. If you are maintaining all of your other parameters and your tank is healthy I don't believe you would have a PH imbalance large enough to do harm. Just make sure you use a test kit for a while when you start using the Co2. Test kits are a very important tool. I will post a picture of my tank using this product.

Im not sure what the optimal ph is but, i have 2 clone king machines and i put in water with a ph of 5.6 to 5.8 just like my hydro stuff, and i havent lost 1 clone in 6 batches of clones

No you cant push it directly in the soil. To ph soil, you would need to mix your soil in some neutral ph solution or ph'd water, then use your device to measure the ph.

You might want to check whatever meter you're using. I have a digital pH meter that consistently measure the pH of this water over 10.

justmix 1 half cup of ph powder to 1 gallon and then slowly pour into hydroponic res and flood tank to match ph if thats hoe your set up is if in single buckets then just the res.. i hope this helps out it did me

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.

It does not need calibration but you must let it stay in soil undisturbed for minimum of 5 minutes until it displays final PH reading and the PH range is less than 5 and above 7

The ph will depend on the water going in. also the ph starts higher, let it run for 15 min before you use or store the water as the ph and ppm will settle out. my water is 6.8 going in, and 7.5 when it comes out. hope this helps.

the calibrated range of the ph.7 and ph4.0 buffers is .5 degrees accrurate...I have used this equipment for years and find it to be great...have not used the 10.1 buffer solution in food processes...but will tell you this equipment is very reliable...
