The pHep revolutionized the pH industry by providing non-technical personnel with a simple, inexpensive solution to accurate pH measurement.
This tool is used by millions of people around the world to monitor pH in laboratories and industrial applications as well as in agriculture, fish farming, food manufacturing and quality control, swimming pools, and the printing industry.
With a renewable cloth junction, the pHep has an extended life over typical pH testers. A normal junction clogs with use over time and a typical tester would normally have to be thrown away once the junction is too contaminated. Instead, the junction here is 2 cm long and when dirty, can be pulled out to expose a fresh section to effectively renew the pHep’s life.
Calibration is performed manually at one or two points with a trimmer located on the side of the tester.
With a battery life of 700 hours of continuous use, the pHep will provide years of testing before the batteries need to be replaced.

| Q: | Why are PPM, TDS, pH and EC important? |
| A: | PPM and TDS are abbreviations that represent the concentration of elements in a solution or atmosphere. PPM is short for parts per million and TDS for total dissolved solids. EC (electro conductivity) is another form of measurement for TDS. PH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity which dictates plant uptake of particular elements. |
| Q: | My pH meter doesn't hold calibration. How often should I recalibrate it? |
| A: | pH meters do need to be calibrated by the user every day since the membrane does change and is affected by the temperature as well. If pH values are very critical then it will need to be recalibrated several times a day, or before each sample test (depending on how critical the value is). Uncontaminated calibration solution is very important as well. For each calibration, pour some solution in a separate container. Keep out of sunlight and away from heat. |
| Q: | What is the suggested pH range for my hydroponic system and soil plants? |
| A: | Hydroponic and soil gardens differ in the fact they both need different pH ranges for nutrients to be made available for plant absorption. Maintain a pH between 5.0 and 6.5 for hydroponic gardens and 6.0 to 7.0 for soil applications. |
