What are accessories for measuring and adjusting pH and EC?
These accessories include digital pH meters, EC controllers, calibration solutions, corrective fluids, and complete monitoring kits. These instruments are designed to ensure that irrigation water has optimal acidity and electrical conductivity levels, essential for healthy root development and proper nutrient uptake.
Why is it important to monitor pH and EC?
An unbalanced pH can block nutrient absorption, causing deficiencies even when the substrate is well fertilized. Meanwhile, an incorrect EC level can cause an excess or deficiency in plant nutrition. Measuring and adjusting these parameters prevents common problems such as nutrient blockages or water stress, thereby improving crop quality.
Who are these products intended for?
They're ideal for home growers, professional horticulturists, and anyone looking to optimize their indoor or outdoor crops. Whether you have a small urban garden or an advanced facility, having reliable pH and EC measuring and adjusting instruments will allow you to take your growing to the next level.
What variety of accessories can you find?
In this category, you'll discover everything from portable pH and EC meters for quick and convenient use to automatic controllers that constantly regulate the balance of the nutrient solution. Also included are calibration solutions, pH correction fluids (pH+ and pH-), and complete kits for comprehensive irrigation control.

Frequently asked questions about accessories for measuring and adjusting the pH and EC of irrigation water
How often should pH and EC be measured?
It is advisable to measure pH and EC in each irrigation preparation to ensure optimal balance in each application.
What is the difference between pH and EC?
pH indicates the acidity or alkalinity of the nutrient solution, while EC measures the concentration of salts and nutrients present.
Do I need calibration solutions for my meter?
Yes, regular calibration with specific solutions ensures accurate readings and prolongs the meter's lifespan.
