Apera brand testing come in their own kit with the calibration fluids you need to start right out of the box! Apera not only offers some of the highest accuracy devices on the market, but provides incredible warranties on all of their meters. These meters last the test of time (unlike other brands!) and will lend accurate results time, after time, after time. These meters are the peak of performance amongst their competitors. DO NOT hesitate to give these devices a go. Blooms Grow Tech stands behind all the Apera devices we sell, hands down.
The Apera Instruments EC20 tester is simply the most reliable conductivity (EC) tester with the best value for all kinds of regular EC testing, such as hydroponics, education, tap/drinking water, swimming pool, water treatment, etc. Up to 2 points of Auto Calibration with buffer recognition and 0 to 50˚C Auto Temperature Compensation (ATC), ±1% F.S, 0.5˚C accuracy with measuring range of 0 - 200.0µS/cm, 0 - 2000µS/cm, 0 - 20.00mS/cm, 0 - 50˚C. The BPB (Brush-Resistant Platinum Black) sensor adopts our special processing technology, which minimizes electrode polarization, expands measuring range, and increases the firmness of the electrode, hence ensuring much higher accuracy and consistency in a wide-range EC measurement than traditional stainless steel electrodes, and is easy to clean.
Large clear 180˚ viewing angle screen with temperature/EC value dual display and indications of completed auto calibrations and stable readings. Great functions to make your testing experience a lot easier: 3-point auto calibration with auto buffer recognition, 0 to 50˚C auto temp. compensation. Self-diagnosis with out-of-range and low battery warning, and incorrect calibration reminder. Complete kit with calibration solutions, AAA batteries, and a lanyard all in a portable carrying case. IP67 is waterproof and dustproof floats on water so no need to worry if it falls into the water by accident. 1000 hours continuous operation powered by AAA batteries (with low power warning and auto power off in 8 min if no operation).
