The ESSENTIALS EC Meter gives direct accurate readings of nutrient solution and is very helpful in mixing nutrient concentrate with hydroponic system water.

All readings are automatically temperature compensated. It is easy-to-use as you can just dip the sensor into the test solution - stir and wait. This unit will deliver a stable reading in about 20 seconds. The meter has a minimum lifespan of about 1 to 3 years depending on the rate of sampling.

The energy saving feature shuts off the tester when it is not in use. The unit also displays a low battery symbol to warn you before it degrades the accuracy of important readings. It has digital calibration at the push of a button and a lit screen for when under dark foliage. It is water and drop resistant. Even if the tester is accidentally dropped into the water it will remain afloat. This means you are able to retrieve the meter immediately without damaging the electronics.

To correct the EC value add clean water or nutrient solution to the water tank. To lower the too high EC value of full water tank, the water must be replaced at least partly with new neutral water.

Look a video on how to use the EC pen:

Measurement fluid and color map are a simple but effective way to measure the pH of the nutrient solution.

Contain:

•  an indicator liquid
•  test tube
•  Color chart with pH scale 4.0 - 8.5
•  Accuracy + -0.5 pH
•  Suffices for more than 100 measurements

An very strong (50%) solution for raising the pH value of nutrient water (pH+).

Keep out of the reach of children and do not store near pH Down (pH-) products.

An very strong (81%) solution for lowering the pH of nutrient water (pH-).

Keep out of the reach of children and do not store near pH Down (pH+) products.

The pH meter should be calibrated time to time to maintain accuracy. Dip the meter into this liquid and adjust the meter to the default liquid pH value.

VitaLink CF Standard Calibration Fluid 2.8mS is an easy way to adjust the EC meter accurately. The water nutrient content EC describes the electrical conductivity of water and in this liquid the starnard EC value is 2.8 mS.

Put the end of the meter into the calibration fluid and wait for a moment to confirm the correct reading. Adjust the meter to display a value of EC 2.8. Use to Calibrate your EC/CF meter every week to ensure maximum accuracy.

There are two sizes of EC calibration fluid: 250 ml and 1000 ml.

Bato bucket has container and watering system designed for drip irrigation and for hydroponics growing, also called Dutch Bucket system.

The Bato bucket kit includes:

• Bato bucket, 11 liters

• 2 pcs L -model overflow connector

• Lid with one hole for a 100 mm pot and an option for four 80 mm holes

• 100 mm net pot

The Bato container is an efficient and mondular drip irrigation system that is ideal for growing larger and long-lasting crops; vines, tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins, cucumbers, chilies and even roses. You can use almost any inorganic medium that does not bind too much water or nutrients; hydro gravel, clay pebbles, perlite and coconut fiber.

Features of the Bato hydroponics system:

• The capacity of the container is 11 liters

• The dimensions of the container are width 30 cm x depth 25 cm x height 23 cm

• The container is made of food-grade polypropylene - PP

Water and aquaculture nutrients are fed to the plant in the Bato container by drip irrigation and the system has water circulation and drainage. The system needs a water tank in which a water pump feeds water to the roots of the plant in the Bato container through drip irrigation. At the bottom of the Bato vessel, bucket, there is an overflow pipe that can be connected to a 32-50 mm body pipe, along which the water returns to the water tank. The main return pipe is, for example, a 32-50 mm straight water pipe, the upper surface of which is made with about 25 mm holes for returning water. There should be a small lean in the return pipe and it will lead the water back to the water tank.

By installing the two elbow connectors that come with the container between the bottom of the container and the overflow hole, the overflow water is sucked from the lowest level of the container and led to the return pipe. This prevents stagnant water and nutrients from accumulating to bottom of bucket.
