{"id":877,"count":2,"description":"<h2>EC probe<\/h2><p>A reliable measurement of nutrient concentration or salt content starts with a good EC probe. Our EC probes, such as the NXG-EC with BNC connection and 3 metre cable, provide an accurate and stable measurement of electrical conductivity. Whether you are checking hydroponics, swimming pool water or process water: calibrate regularly and maintain the probe for a long service life.<\/p><h2>Applications of the EC probe<\/h2><p>Our EC probe is designed for versatile use and is compatible with a wide range of systems.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Hydroponics:<\/strong> EC is the measure of the total amount of dissolved nutrient salts. An accurate EC measurement is essential for optimal plant growth.<\/li><li><strong>Swimming pools:<\/strong> The EC value gives insight into the salt content. That is needed for salt electrolysis to work. For a quick check of 0\u201310 g\/l there is also the pool salt tester.<\/li><li><strong>Aquariums:<\/strong> For freshwater and saltwater aquariums, a stable EC value is an indicator of water quality.<\/li><li><strong>Water treatment:<\/strong> In industrial processes and waste water treatment, EC monitors the total concentration of dissolved substances.<\/li><\/ul><h2>Is this EC probe compatible with my controller?<\/h2><p>Thanks to the standard BNC connector, \u00d812 mm and 3 metre cable, the probe fits most common EC controllers and meters. Check that your device has a BNC input and accepts a 12 mm probe.<\/p><p>The probe is compatible with brands such as: Hanna, Milwaukee, Bluelab, Apera, Sugar Valley, Hayward, Zodiac, AstralPool, Bayrol, Seko, Mettler and WTW, among others. If in doubt: send us the connector type or the system.<\/p><h2>How do I calibrate and maintain my EC probe?<\/h2><p>An EC probe is a consumable. With the right care it lasts longer.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Calibration:<\/strong> Always follow the manual of your meter or controller. Use <a href=\"\/en-gb\/buffer-solutions\/conductivity-standard\/ec-1413-s-cm\/\">1413 \u00b5S\/cm<\/a> for hydroponics and the low range, or <a href=\"\/en-gb\/buffer-solutions\/conductivity-standard\/ec-12880-s-cm\/\">12880 \u00b5S\/cm<\/a> for the high range. Those are two different bottles. The manual decides.<\/li><li><strong>Cleaning:<\/strong> Salts, algae and biofilm settle on the cells. Clean with a special <a href=\"\/en-gb\/buffer-solutions\/cleaning-solution\/\">cleaning solution<\/a> (max. 15 minutes). Then rinse with demineralised water and recalibrate.<\/li><li><strong>Storage:<\/strong> EC probes are usually stored dry, in the <a href=\"\/en-gb\/probe-protective-cap.html\">protective cap<\/a>. First rinse with demineralised water to prevent salt deposits. Do not store in KCl. Do not store in demineralised water. Never in tap water.<\/li><\/ul><h2>Calibrating the EC probe: sachet, small bottle or bottle<\/h2><p>You place the <a href=\"\/en-gb\/ec-probe.html\">EC probe NXG-EC<\/a> directly into the 20 ml sachet or the 60 ml bottle of conductivity standard. From the 250 ml bottle, you pour a fresh dose into a clean beaker each time.<\/p><p>Order the EC probe BNC with 3 metre cable now.
