pH Salinity Tester 5 in 1 pH Salt TDS EC Temp Meter for Hydroponic System Saltwater Pool pH and PPM Meter Water Tester for Indoor Plant Grow, Hot Tub, Spa, Aquarium, Home Brewing

Ph and salt tested more accurate than test strips. Salt strip prices are reficulous.

Accurate and easy to use!

Finally don’t have to bring a water sample to a pool store to obtain an accurate salt level. This device makes it simple and fast to accurately test.

This meter is very simple to use. I use it on a salt pool. It quickly indicates salt PPM and PH. Perfect for pools!

I have been going through it trying to find an even SOMEWHAT reliable ph tester. I have so many different types of strips, and also a different brand of one of these meters (we'll call it brand X for the sake of this review). I can't even tell you how much faster, and therefore more reliable, the ORAPXI is than than brand X. (As a sidenote, prior to buying this one, I had bought even a third brand, but that one was doa). Anyway, with the "brand X" meter, the numbers move sooooo slowly, and go up and down and up and down. At times I would know for a fact that the reading was wrong, so I would dunk it a few more times and the number would continue to change. This could happen multiple times just trying to get the ph for one batch (and this is with regular calibration). With the ORAPXI meter, you put it in and it settles on the value quickly and surely. Now I use this one, and then the older one just to confirm it (brand X does eventually decide on a value, so using it as a secondary is fine, but I would never trust it as my primary), and the ORAPXI meter has been accurate every single time. I have also tested it with calibration solution, and again... accurate. Another amazing thing with the ORAPXI, is that I haven't even had to calibrate this meter yet, and I've used it on 4 separate days now over a 6 week period. I'm actually going to buy one of these as a gift for a friend who has no meter at all, because I feel absolutely confident that it's the only meter she will need. I never thought I'd see the day! Now I'm just waiting for the price to go back to where it was when I bought mine 6 weeks ago. Thanks for reading my review.

I am plagiarizing parts of another review that I agree with: I got this in the hopes that the testing would be easier than dealing with strips but I don't think that's going to true. First off, it recommends that you calibrate it once a month which is onerous. The calibration method looks to be a pain and is not something I'm going to do. Second, when you dip the tester in the water, it takes a while for the reading to stabilize. Contrast this with a test strip which you can pull out of the water and read instantly.

This device works great and is more efficient than the salt and PH test strips. I noticed that my PH strips were showing I had a low PH. However, when I got it tested specifically it was truly higher than it indicated. This digital reader was way more accurate and much more time efficient than even the liquid tester kits.

Nice price but wrong item for our pool
