looking for one to test the ph in fabrics/carpet would this be a good one

I don't think so... Works well with liquids, but don't know how you'd even test fabric or carpet with it.

This product is capable of testing the ph of your lawn, but I would use a ph tester that had smaller increments of the ph level (as in fractions or decimals).

My filter came with a pH test kit. You can buy them at the drug store. That was never a problem for me. Getting replacement filters is a problem. Otherwisw, I love the filter.

I believe that this device works well for EMF; but, I need a debice that is inexpensive to measure ion levels in my home environment

Take a sample of your water to a pool store to have them test for salinity. Then you'll be able to compare your readings versus a benchmark.

I am not buying the hype of expensive test kits. I have always used the cheaper kits and have never had any issues. There are instances where you need to be as close as possible to an exact reading but I've found close enough is good enough. Go cheaper in this case.

Hey Robert, Few things about this meter I find makes it superior. ..1. The ph probe has a storage piece on the end of it for keeping probe wet with storage solution. A dry probe is a dead probe period. 2. Ec/temp probe does all conversions available for ppm whether you want aus/US or Euro its there (stick to ec if you can as it is universal and easy) but if your getting advice from others who use ppm you got it. 3. The long cords on each probe make it WAY EASIER if you use resevoirs or tough to reach testing areas versus hand held units...saves your back. If you will be testing multiple rezs this is a must have for me! 4. Quality is unbeatable. ..this thing has taken a beating and is accurate as ever and just plain works not to mention the auto off means the battery lasts forever and is reasonably water resistant too.

I purchased this product specifically for testing the pH of water. It's actually a test for the pH of water for plants. I wasn't able to find another good product for specifically testing the pH of drinking water, so I got this one and it worked well for me. However, it isn't for testing urine. There are many products out there (usually strips) that are made specifically for testing the pH of urine. You can find pH strips for analyzing urine right here on Amazon and you can see from other user's feedback if they are good or bad. If you are still interested in possibly using this product I would go directly to the company and ask them your question since it's their product.

It very well might and it's worth a try. I haven't had trouble with it removing color from carpets or other fabric, but spot test first and then go for it.

Yes. The color of water tested will be compared to color chart. A lot more accurate than strips.

Not really. It's most useful for chlorine levels that are in the goal range for a pool. It does give a rough estimate of PH and CYA (a pool thing) content. Doesn't test for bacteria etc, and not even that precise at what it does measure.

Perhaps test it on a similar piece of cloth to see the results. even an untreated cloth would yield results to compare.

You can order PH calibration solutions from Amazon or you can go to a quality Garden store that sells PH calibration solutions for soil testing and hydroponic gardening.

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

hey. um i would imagine so because its acidic. but i would not know how much more..but what you can do is use the test strips to test the acidity and just add drops until you get the ideal ph. :) hope this helps

i don't know, but maybe a consumer test kit could be found online? maybe i should check it out!

Hey Ray, as this is not what the tool was designed for, the results would be unreliable at best. That said, this tool does a very good job at measuring even small levels of moisture in sheetrock and wood. If you only have a small section of carpet, best bet is to tear it out and put new in. Carpet is cheap compared to mold problems that might come along if even a small section remains wet under the carpet.
