Does it measure chemicals such as pesticides, hormones or plastic residue and if not is there one that does?

Yes, it can pick up anything that has become "one" with the water and thus becoming contaminated.Anything that can dissolve in the water that you won't be able to see it with your eyes, 90% of the time your TDS meter will pick it up for you and show you how contaminated your water is. I have one and it works great in picking up any chemicals.You can also pour your purified water into a cup and add any type of house hold chemical and see if your TDS meter picks it up.That is one way I was able to confirm it myself that it works.

No, it just measures conductivity and displays the results as total dissolved solids. Pure water does not conduct electricity and will read zero TDS. My tap water reads 130 and after the RO filter it reads 002.

All this device does is measure mow many dissolved solids are in the water, not what they are. It could be iron, lead, calcium, chlorine, benzine, whatever. what your looking for is a gas spectrometer. Very much outside the range of handheld gadgetry.

Measures Free Chlorine, Combined Chlorine, Bromine, and pH. If pH is off, it will help you determine how much acid or alkaline to use. I like this better than test strips.

No. This only tests for ph, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate. You can get a cheap hydrometer here on Amazon. Just do a search for it.

Hi Lolabelle, Our facility and product undergoes annual checking in order to maintain Organic Standards. This include checking for any metal components that might have been transmitted through water absorption from the soil, or air. All plants have the tendency to acquire lead because it can be absorbed from soil or air. By doing lab tests regularly, we are able to monitor and keep it at a minimum level, so low to cause a concern. And yes we do have a lab test result for that, which we cannot attach here for there is no option to do so. You may send us an email directly and we'll have it sent to you. Stay positive! Ashley @kissmeorganics Our farm is located in the mountainous coastal province of Fujian.

No it won't tell you how much of any chemicals to add to your pool, but it will give you info on what is low or high as far as ph, chlorine, alkalinity goes. The instruction pamplet that comes with the aqua check will indicate what a normal pool should read. You can add chemicals according to your pool volume. Hope this helps. I find the gage much easier to read than the color charts with the conventional strips.

I haven't read anything to indicate that it does. We've used this product for a year and we've not seen any blood work come back indicating any lead poisoning. What makes you have that particular concern?

It has two sides and each drug it tests for is listed on the actual panel. I'm not sure of the process it takes to test for the different substances, but it was accurate on all counts.

Not sure what you mean.There is a separated area on the container that traps a portion of the liquid for measuring the amount but mine only had one chemical in it

If you are asking if it measures volume, then no, it only measures weight. But it does allow you to select "fluid ounces" as a unit of measure. It is likely accurate for water, since the weight of a volume of water is standard, but other liquids would slightly vary.

None that I detected mixing the entire bottle with 16 gal of water and using a pull behind chemical sprayer and putting down 2 gal per minute.

This is not the divice to use. It measures total desolved solids. If the impurities are not desolved, i.e.an emulsion, it won't work.

No. The kit will test for free chlorine, total chlorine, ph, alkalinity, bromine, and calcium hardness.

"Almost all commercially available plastic products we sampled-independent of the type of resin, product, or retail source-leached chemicals having reliably detectable EA [estrogenic activity], including those advertised as BPA free. In some cases, BPA-free products released chemicals having more EA than did BPA-containing products." - from the US National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health. PMCID: PMC3222987

NO. Contaminants measured are: silicon, sodium,potassium, & coolant. Water is also measured but they do not list it under the "contaminants" heading.
1831559
No, it strictly measures gas (propane, methanol,other petroleum based products).
1761780
Yes. Seems like they all should do that since you are using it to precisely measure ingredients. This one does give you plenty of time to add or subtract.

FROM HM DIGITAL: No, it does not. The COM-100 measures TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), EC (Electrical Conductivity) and temperature. To measure pH, you will need a pH meter, such as HM Digital's PH-200 (made by HM Digital, not Hydrofarm - that's a typo) or PH-80.
