Essentials pH Meter

I've had one of these pH meters for a couple of months now. It is working perfectly, and comes with a sturdy box to store it in. I've been using it for checking the acidity of fermented foodstuffs, checking with very specific litmus paper, and it is very accurate so far. I recommend this more expensive meter rather than wasting your money on generic cheaper examples that (in my experience) stop working or have their accuracy drift over time.

Used this brand for years A+++

Great

There's a lot of nonsense surrounding these devices on forums. These are not the best or most accurate PH (or EC) meters. However, unless you're using a meter every day and need accuracy to the decimal point (which you don't - trust me) - these will be fine. The problem with more expensive meters (such as those from Bluelab) is that they need calibrating, cleaning and storing regularly to be accurate and won't take much of a beating (I've gone through 3 Bluelab PH pens in the time that an Essentials pen lasted me). These will need calibrating etc too but you can be less precious with them and they will still get the job done just fine.

Hard at work and doing a fine job, smashes that cheap dodgy yellow thing I was using... Easy calibration with just ph7 buffer, but the well written instruction booklet say's it can also be calibrated using ph4 buffer or ph10 buffer, you'll need to purchase ph buffer as this meter only come's with a small sachet of liquid ph7 buffer for one time calibration before first use, you'll also need some ph storage solution and some ph cleaning solution, look after it and it'll serve you well...

Was stuck on it's original calibration of pH 7. Recalibrated with a pH 4 liquid, to see it go back to 7. Finally gave up altogether and just showed flashing dots. I requested a refund, which I received and the manufacturers did not want the meter back, as it would only go in their bin. I still need a good meter, so I have to start from scratch.

6 month in used every day still has perfect readings easy to use stronger and more reliable than the cheap yellow ones only would be better to have a back lit screen but easy to work around highly recommend

Top notch. I should have bought this one in the beggining as i just ened up buying loads of cheap ph meters which give off dodgy results..cost me over a £100 trying to save money. But no. Just buy this one..its excellent and is so easy to calibrate with only Ph 7

un muy buen producto para aquellos que buscan ir mas haya de un cultivo normal, muy fácil de usar y muy preciso.

Super easy to use and calibrate

Funktioniert wie er soll, einmal eichen und gut! Selbst nach Wochen wenn mann die Eichung überpfüft immernoch exakt da wo sie sei soll!

Ok correcto pero hay que calibrar antes de utilizar

I bought as advertised, a PH meter. They sent me a EC meter. At least a EC meter was next on my list I didn’t mind. Just had to go buy a PH meter.
