EC MicroSiemens meter EC-3
Suitable for aquarium. Measures the electric conductivity in a liquid in the unit µS (abbrev. for MicroSiemens)
- Accurate due to its microprocessor technology.
- Hold Function: saves measurements for convenient reading and recording.
- Auto-off function: the meter shuts off automatically after 10 minutes of non-use to conserve batteries.
- Measurement Range: 0-9990 µS. From 0-999 µS, the resolution is in increments of 1 µS. From 1000 to 9990 µS, the resolution is in increments of 10 µS, indicated by a blinking 'x10' image.
- Built-in digital thermometer
- Display: large and easy-to-read LCD screen.
- Factory Calibrated: The EC-3 has been factory calibrated to a 1413 µS KCl solution and can be recalibrated with a mini-screwdriver and a calibration fluid.
- Read about calibration and how to do it.

The meter is NOT water proof like the newer AP-2. If it gets wet - it happens - remove the upper small part with the batteries, blow into the meter and let it dry. It worked for me.
