Bluelab pH PenPlus pH and Temperature Meter
The Bluelab pH PenPlus measures pH and temperature in hydroponic nutrient solutions, irrigation water and runoff. Its replaceable double-junction probe lets you replace a worn probe rather than the whole meter. Made in New Zealand, this handheld pH meter combines IP68 dustproof and waterproof protection with a backlit display for daily grow-room and greenhouse checks.

Using the pH PenPlus in Your Grow
Check nutrient solution and runoff pH to monitor changes in growing conditions and inform adjustments to your irrigation routine. Compare readings over time rather than relying on a single measurement. Keep additional pH 4.0 and pH 7.0 calibration solutions and KCl storage solution available for routine maintenance. A spare Bluelab pH ProbePlus can help reduce downtime when the original probe wears out.
