Bluelab Nutrient Monitor
Instant Peace of Mind!
One quick glance is all it takes. The wall mounted Bluelab Nutrient Monitor advises you that your crop’s needs are O.K.
If the red light flashes - it's time to make a change.
The probe can be situated 'inline' or simply placed in a tank or reservoir for constant monitoring.
What is it used for?
The Bluelab Nutrient Monitor is used to continuously measure the conductivity -EC/CF/ppm of a nutrient solution. It is designedto be mounted in a permanent position with the probesituated either'inline' or simply placed in a reservoir. The reading is displayed on the screen at all times. The monitor also measures the temperature of the solution.
How do you use it?
This monitor is operated by batteries and it can be located anywhere! A single push of a button will display the current temperature of the solution. The Bluelab Nutrient Monitor also has an alarm feature, which is indicated by a red flashing light, to let you know that the conductivity of the solution is outside the desired value.
The monitor does not need calibrating as this is locked in during manufacture.
The monitor can display the readings in EC, CF orppm and °C or °F. If you would like to change the reading to be displayed, simply remove the back cover and change the jumpers.
What is Conductivity?
Conductivity is the total soluble salts contained within a liquid solution. Because pure water does not conduct electricity it has a conductivity measurement of zero. By adding soluble elements to the water, electricity is able to move through the solution giving it a conductivity rating. So why is it important? Using hydroponics as an example, different crops grow well at different levels of nutrient strength (Electrical Conductivity - EC or CF). Controlling this nutrient strength is all important in providing the best conditions for your crop. Without proper measurement your crop could fail from root burn brought on by too high a nutrient level, or death by natural causes from not receiving the vital elements they need to grow.
Bluelabs products measure Conductivity using EC (Electrical Conductivity) or CF (Conductivity Factor). Measurements in ppm are also provided, but this is simply a conversion derived from the EC value.
