Bluelab PENPH pH Pen: Waterproof Digital pH Tester
The Bluelab pH Pen is an accurate, robust, and compact handheld meter designed to measure both pH and temperature in nutrient solutions. It offers a quick and convenient way to manage the health of your crops by ensuring optimal nutrient uptake.
Key Features and Benefits
• pH and Temperature Measurement: The pen measures both pH and temperature, providing essential data for managing your nutrient solution.
• Full-Range pH Coverage: It provides a full pH measurement range of 0.0 to 14.0 pH with a resolution of 0.1 pH, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications.
• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): The pen automatically compensates for temperature, ensuring accurate pH readings across an operating temperature range of 0 to 50 °C (32 to 122 °F).
• Simple Calibration: Features an easy two-point calibration process with a 30-day calibration reminder, ensuring consistent accuracy over time. Calibration is recommended after cleaning or battery changes.
• Bright Backlit LCD Display: The large, backlit LCD display is easy to read even in low-light conditions, allowing for quick and effortless measurement viewing.
• Rugged, Waterproof Design: The Bluelab pH Pen is fully waterproof and designed to float, making it highly durable and resilient to splashes, drops, and even submersion in nutrient reservoirs. This design is "built for growers" to withstand daily use in growing environments.
• Double Junction Probe: Equipped with a double-junction pH probe (non-replaceable for this specific pen model) that helps reduce contamination and extend its longevity in nutrient solutions.
• Convenience Features: Includes a hold reading function to capture measurements easily, a low battery indicator, and an auto-off function that conserves battery life (turns off after 4 minutes).
• Power Source: Operates on a single AAA alkaline battery, which is included, allowing for immediate use out of the box.
• New Zealand Quality: Designed and assembled in New Zealand, it is a trusted tool used by growers worldwide
Why Measure pH and Temperature?
Maintaining the correct pH and temperature of your nutrient solution is crucial for plant health and growth. Plants can only absorb essential nutrients when the solution is within an optimal pH range. If the solution becomes too acidic or too alkaline, nutrients become insoluble and inaccessible to the plants, hindering their growth and potentially wasting expensive resources. Similarly, the temperature of the solution directly affects the plants' growth rate and overall structure. By regularly monitoring these fundamental parameters, you can ensure your plants receive the optimal conditions to thrive and achieve improved crop yield.
Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your Bluelab pH Pen, regular cleaning and maintenance are essential. The probe tip must be kept moist at all times, ideally with KCl solution, to prevent permanent damage. After each use, rinse the probe in clean water and replace the storage cap. For cleaning, gently stir the probe tip in a mixture of clean water and Bluelab pH Probe Cleaner or a mild detergent, then rinse thoroughly. Calibration is required after every clean. Bluelab offers Probe Care Kits with all necessary solutions and tools for cleaning, maintenance, and calibration.
