The
following specifications are important considerations:
+
Ability to produce readings in Siemens (e.g. “mS”) or CF. Avoid meters
that will only yield TDS (ppm).
+ Calibration facility: Helps ensure accuracy even when electrodes are not
performing to original specifications e.g. due to electrode contamination,
physical damage, etc.
+ Housing that is both waterproof and floats – helps protect against
accidents / mishandling.
+ Temperature compensation: A built-in temperature sensor allows the meter
to adjust readings to display what it would be if the
temperature was at 25oC / 77oF.
+ Long battery life - with auto-off feature to prolong battery life.
