FAQs

1. How accurate are pocket testers compared to benchtop meters?

While benchtop meters typically provide higher precision due to advanced calibration and stability, modern pocket testers offer surprisingly accurate results for routine testing. Many models use advanced sensors and automatic temperature compensation, allowing for reliable measurements that meet industry standards in most field applications.

2. Can pH testers measure liquids other than water, like wine, soil slurry, or milk?

Yes, many pH testers can be used for different liquids, but it depends on the model and electrode design. For complex substances like wine, soil slurry, or dairy, you'll need a tester with a specialized probe that can resist clogging and handle proteins or particulates. Always check if your device is suitable for non-aqueous or high-viscosity samples.

3. What parameters can pocket testers measure other than pH and TDS?

Modern pocket testers can measure a variety of parameters beyond pH and TDS, including conductivity, salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and even turbidity. Some advanced models also feature multiparameter capabilities, allowing users to test several aspects of water quality with one device.

4. How often do pocket testers need calibration and maintenance?

To maintain accuracy, pocket testers should be calibrated regularly, typically before each use or at least weekly, depending on usage frequency. Maintenance involves rinsing sensors with distilled water after use, replacing electrodes or batteries when necessary, and storing the tester properly to avoid damage or contamination.

5. Is storing my pH tester in distilled water bad for the electrode?

Yes, storing your pH electrode in distilled or deionized water can damage it by leaching ions from the reference solution. Always store the sensor in a proper electrode storage solution or, if not available, pH 4 or pH 7 buffer. This keeps the glass membrane hydrated and maintains internal reference integrity.
