Featuring automatic temperature compensation, a durable cloth junction for stable readings, and a compact design, it delivers fast, accurate pH measurements essential for optimizing nutrient uptake and plant growth. With customizable auto shut-off and battery life indicators, it’s engineered for convenience and reliability in any growing environment. ## Description The HI98118 GroLine pocket pH Tester is an affordable way to measure the pH of hydroponic nutrient solutions. The maintaining of an optimal pH is essential to maximize optimum growth. The general rule of thumb is that as pH increases the solubility of minerals and nutrients decrease. It is important that nutrients are soluble for plants to uptake and use for growth. The pH of nutrient solution can also affect the bacteria that fix nitrogen for the plant to use. Every plant has optimum pH levels for growth. Below is a table for the ideal pH range for a variety of plants. The HI98118 can be used to measure the pH in soils as well as nutrient solutions. The North Carolina State University has outlined a procedure known as Pour Through Sampling Method. This method is used for container plants in which 50 ml of leachate is collected from a thoroughly watered plant and then tested. To measure the pH of soil as a slurry the USDA recommends a mixture of 1 part soil to 1 part water. The slurry is allowed to rest for 10 minutes so that the solids will settle out and the pH of liquid above can be measured. The HI98118 is an advanced meter while maintaining simplicity. The front of the meter has two buttons. One is for turning the meter on and off while the other is used to enter the calibration mode. There is a third button in the battery compartment that allows the user to customize the meter to their preference. Customization includes temperature readout in oC or oF, automatic shut off selectable from 8 minutes, 60 minutes or disabled, and lastly the choice of using Hanna's Quick Cal pH/EC standard or traditional buffers values of pH 4.01, 7.01 and 10.01. The HI98118 features a cloth junction. The reference junction of a pH electrode, also known as a salt bridge, provides an electrical pathway between the internal reference cell and the sample. A cloth or fiber wick juction provides a larger surface area than a standard ceramic junction. ## Features - Auto Sensor : Built in temperature sensor for Automatic Temperature Compensated measurements. - Compact Design: With its compact and portable design, this meter is perfect for on-the-go testing in various applications. - Automatic Tester : Selectable Auto shut off to extend battery life - Battery Display : Battery % level remaining displayed at start up. - Low battery indicator : Displayed when less than 10% battery life is remaining. - Cloth Junction : Provides a larger surface area than a standard ceramic junction. - Quick : Uses Hanna's Quick Cal pH/EC standard with a pH value of 6.86. The standard can also be used to calibrate conductivity meters to 5,000 μS/cm . ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D8JX9GNW | | Best Sellers Rank | #395,309 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #376 in Lab pH Meters | | Brand Name | WLR Industries | | Color | Green | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 3.6 out of 5 stars (6) | | Included Components | cuvettes, reagent starter kit, battery, instructions and quick start guide. | | Manufacturer | WLR Industries | | Measurement Type | pH | | Model | 98118 | | Part Number | 98118 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Specification Met | Ul 61010-1 | | Style Name | Hydroponic pH Tester | | UPC | 850063330190 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 50 Degrees Celsius | ## Product Details - **Brand:** WLR Industries - **Color:** Green - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Specification Met:** Ul 61010-1 - **Style:** Hydroponic pH Tester ## Images ![Hanna HI98118 Checker GroLine Waterproof Hydroponic pH Tester - Simple and Easy Handheld Design - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41QL3iyyulL.jpg) ![Hanna HI98118 Checker GroLine Waterproof Hydroponic pH Tester - Simple and Easy Handheld Design - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Fi8TTanyL.jpg) ![Hanna HI98118 Checker GroLine Waterproof Hydroponic pH Tester - Simple and Easy Handheld Design - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ESf5rH+cL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Hanna HI98118 Checker GroLine Waterproof Hydroponic pH Tester - Simple and Easy Handheld Design - Apera Instruments AI1113 pH Calibration Buffer Solution Kit (7.00, 4.00), 8 oz.
