Bluelab Conductivity Pen

Description

The Bluelab Conductivity Pen is a compact and robust user-friendly handheld pen. It measures the conductivity of nutrient solutions in the units of your choice and temperature in °C or °F. Automatically temperature compensated to ensure accurate readings every time.

Fully waterproof rather than merely water-resistant, the Bluelab Conductivity Pen is designed to float if dropped into a reservoir. Hold function keeps the conductivity reading on screen for as long as required. Easy to calibrate, and calibration check mark reminds the user when recalibration is due. Powered by 1 x AAA alkaline battery (included, 350 hrs life), with power-saving auto shut-down after 4 minutes unused.

Features:

• Fully waterproof, not just water-resistant
• Selectable measurement units so you can customise with your preferences
• Flat electrode for easier cleaning and maintenance
• Hold reading function to capture every measurement with ease
• Automatic temperature compensation for accurate readings anywhere
• Auto-off function to extend battery life
• 1 x AAA alkaline battery included

All plants need access to the right amount of food (nutrients) so that they can grow and thrive. Over- or under-feeding your plants can result in the waste of expensive nutrient resources.

The easiest way to keep track of the amount of nutrients in your solution is to regularly measure conductivity, which refers to the total ionic content (dissolved salts) in a solution. From a scientific perspective, when nutrients are added, this creates the potential for electricity to move through a solution, increasing the electrical conductivity.

Measuring the temperature of your solution is equally important, as – if it’s too hot or too cold – this can affect the plants’ growth rate and structure.

Bluelab’s entire product range has been developed with growers, for growers. This means that thier very robust, accurate and easy-to-use tools can withstand the knocks and drops that come with everyday growing and life.
