HM Digital AP-2: AquaPro Electrical Conductivity Water Quality Tester
Product Overview
The HM Digital AP-2, part of the high-performance AquaPro series, is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use handheld water quality tester designed for measuring Electrical Conductivity (EC) and temperature. This digital instrument is engineered with a modern aesthetic, making it the perfect tool for today’s health-conscious and tech-savvy consumer. It represents the next generation of essential monitoring equipment for the modern kitchen or laboratory.
The AP-2 ensures highly accurate measurements with an impressive accuracy of ± 2%. It delivers reliable results quickly by simply immersing the meter in the water sample. For maximum convenience and protection, the meter comes with a tough plastic box or storage case, and the water-resistant housing ensures durability in field use.
Key Features and Technology
The AquaPro AP-2 combines essential water testing features with user-friendly operation:
• Simultaneous Measurement: Displays both electrical conductivity (EC) and Temperature readings on a large, easy-to-read LCD screen.
• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): Features a built-in sensor that automatically adjusts readings for accurate results across varying water temperatures (0–80 °C).
• Digital Calibration: Calibration is quick and simple via a push button (one-touch digital calibration), eliminating the need for a screwdriver. The unit is factory calibrated with a 700 µS solution.
• Robust Housing: Equipped with a durable, water-resistant casing.
• Convenience Functions: Includes a data-hold function to easily view the reading out of the water, and an auto-off function which conserves battery life by shutting off automatically after 5 minutes of non-use.
• Magnetic Body: Features a magnetic body (Patent Pending) that allows the meter to be conveniently stored on a refrigerator or metal surface.
• Portability: Designed to be compact and lightweight, making it easily portable for field use.
Applications
The AP-2 is a versatile instrument suitable for a wide range of applications requiring precise electrical conductivity measurements:
• Water Filtration Monitoring: Checking the performance of water filters and purification systems.
• Health and Drinking Water: Ensuring drinking water is at the correct conductivity level.
• Hydroponics and Gardening: Measuring nutrient levels in water for plants, essential for optimizing growth.
• Aquariums and Aquaculture: Monitoring water quality to maintain healthy environments for fish.
• Pools and Spas: Testing water parameters for maintenance and safety.
• Laboratory Use: Suitable for general water monitoring and testing applications.
