Garden Line Digital EC Meter – Portable Conductivity Meter for Nutrient Control

Frequently asked questions

• What is the Garden Line Digital EC Meter and what is it for?

  It is a digital pen meter that tells you the electrical conductivity of your irrigation water, in other words how many dissolved salts it contains. That reading tells you whether your plants are getting the right nutrients. It is affordable, easy to use and you can take it anywhere.

• How do I use this EC pen meter?

  You just dip the tip into the water so the probe gets wet and read the value shown on the digital display. The reading is quick, simple and accurate, so you can check your nutrient solution in a matter of seconds.

• Can I submerge the whole meter in the water?

  No, it is not a submersible device. You should only wet the tip with the probe, because submerging the whole pen can ruin it completely. Be careful too not to drop it into the tank.

• How is the meter calibrated?

  Calibration is done with EC1413 calibration solution and a screwdriver. It is a simple process that keeps your readings reliable. You can add the solution to your order from our Calibration Solutions category.

• Why does it matter to monitor the EC of irrigation water?

  Electrical conductivity measures the water's ability to conduct electricity, which depends directly on the dissolved minerals it carries. By monitoring that value you know whether your plants are getting the nutrients they need and in the right amount. It is a key figure for a healthy crop.

• Who is this meter a good fit for?

  It is a very appealing option if you want an affordable, effective device to start monitoring your irrigation water. Its easy handling and portable format make it convenient both at home and out and about. It covers the essentials perfectly, with no complications.
