How to use?

Using the Vanguard Hydroponics Conductivity Meter is extremely simple:

1. Turn on the device and calibrate it using the included 1413 µS/cm standard solution.
2. Immerse the sensor in the solution or water to be measured.
3. The EC reading will automatically appear on the screen, indicating the concentration of salts.

It is important to clean the electrodes after each use and recalibrate the device regularly to ensure long-term accuracy.

Importance of Correct Measurement of EC and pH

Maintaining adequate EC and pH levels is essential for the success of any type of crop. An imbalance in these parameters can lead to nutritional problems that negatively affect the health and development of plants. Therefore, the Vanguard Hydroponics Conductivity Meter becomes an essential tool to prevent these imbalances and promote healthy growth.
