Growers Own Digital pH Meter

Getting useful pH readings

Follow the instrument instructions for sampling, rinsing and measurement. For liquid pH meters, use appropriate calibration solutions and do not allow residues from one sample to contaminate the next.

For probe-style soil meters, readings are indicative and can be influenced by moisture, substrate composition and probe contact. Where precise nutrient-management decisions depend on pH, confirm results using an appropriate analytical method.

Probe care & checking

Keep sensing surfaces clean and follow the manufacturer's storage requirements. Do not scrape or force probes into hard material. If readings become slow, unstable or implausible, clean and check the instrument before relying on the result.

Good working practice

Keep equipment and materials clean and clearly identified. Follow the instructions for any fertiliser, additive or treatment being prepared and use appropriate PPE where required by the product label or workplace assessment.

Storage & maintenance

Store the product clean, dry and protected from damage. Electronic meters should be maintained according to their manufacturer instructions; measuring equipment should be replaced if markings or condition no longer allow reliable use.
