Bluelab pH Pen

The ultimate handy solution for measuring pH and temperature!

Plants get their nutrient from minerals, but they can only get all the right minerals they need if certain conditions are right. Think of nutrients like a lock. pH is the key. A key factor that affects food uptake is whether your solution is acid or alkaline. We measure this in pH.

The Bluelab pH Pen also measures the temperature of the solution, as root health is vital to the success of a crop. Temperature affects the growth rate and structure of a plant so a solution temperature of 18 – 22˚C or 65 – 72˚F is recommended.

The hand held pH pen provides a compact quick and handy way to manage the success of your crop to ensure maximum uptake of nutrients.

Teamed with our Bluelab ppm or EC Pen, you have a handy, convenient and accurate system for ensuring optimum plant growth and health.

Now isn’t that Handy!

For pH & conductivity electrodes

“We have not needed to re-calibrate our pH meters for over 3 years!”

Analytical Laboratory

In many situations, Flairform’s electrode cleaner eliminates the need to re-calibrate.

Electrode cleaners are usually made from acids, alkalis or chelates. However, these chemicals are largely ineffective for cleaning electrodes that have been contaminated by nutrient solutions.

Flairform’s Electrode Cleaner is:

• Suitable for both pH & conductivity meter electrodes.
• Removes both inorganic and organic contamination.
• Restores electrode accuracy and response time.
• Maximizes electrode life-span.

Unlike with other cleaners, the electrode does not require ‘rest’ time after being cleaned.

Easy to use:   Soak electrode for 5 minutes.

Electrode care:  Avoid placing electrodes in oily solutions as they can “coat” the electrode.  Further, avoid measuring (or leaving electrodes for too long) in harsh chemicals. For example, highly caustic or concentrated solutions such as raw nutrient, pH Up and silica additives.

Dry storage of pH electrodes is the most common cause of pH meter failure in hydroponics!

“pH electrodes last several years when stored properly”

pH electrodes should be stored in a specialized solution when not in use. This helps prevent dehydration of the glass electrode and porous frit (or wick) while preserving the electrode’s filling solution.    pH buffers and distilled water are not suitable for storing pH electrodes as they can upset electrode calibration.  Electrode storage solutions are carefully structured formulations that do not interfere with the chemical composition of the liquid/gel that is contained within the electrode.

Flairform’s pH Electrode Storage helps:

• Maintain electrode accuracy and response time.
• Eliminate reading ‘drift’.
• Maximize electrode life-span.

Bluelab pH Controller

Hands-free monitoring and dosing of solution pH levels. Simple.

We know pH levels can be the difference between a great crop and well, a disaster. Measuring and adjusting nutrient solution levels constantly can be time-consuming. And let’s face it; you have better things to do.

Our clever pH controller automatically monitors and fine-tunes the pH levels for you. Set your pH parameters and let the Bluelab pH Controller keep you on point dosing in your set direction pH up or down solution, not both. You simply set it and forget. The pH is taken care of. So, you can relax…

Conductivity EC/TDS/PPM Probe Care Kit

Everything you need to clean and test conductivity (ppm/EC) / temperature probes

The instrument is only as accurate as the probe is clean. Accurate readings simplify crop management and provide improved growth.

Proper ppm/EC probe maintenance also ensures you maximize the life of the probe and instrument.

The probe surface is where the instrument takes the reading of the solution. If the probe face is dirty or contaminated, the readings may be inaccurate. Much like the windshield of a car, if it’s dirty you can’t see out! If the probe face is dirty, it cannot read the solution.

A tip… if the conductivity reads low, the probe needs cleaning.

You can re-stock your probe care kit with bottles of Bluelab Solutions.

Probe care instructions

• 2 x 20ml single-use Bluelab 2.77 EC Conductivity Standard Solution
• Plastic cup
• Bluelab Conductivity Probe Cleaner
• Bluelab Chamois (conductivity probe cleaning instrument)

It’s all you need for simple and reliable crop management.

The Bluelab Combo Meter is a portable pH, conductivity and temperature meter all in one. If you are experiencing problems with yellow leaves, or slow stunted growth, the Bluelab Combo Meter will soon tell you if each parameter is within the plants requirements. Adjustments can be quickly made to get your crop back on track.

The Bluelab Combo Meter has two probes, a Bluelab pH Probe and a Bluelab Conductivity/Temperature Probe. When taking a reading, simply place them into the solution and the selected reading is displayed on screen. As the Bluelab Combo Meter is portable and does not require a power supply to operate, it can be used anywhere, anytime to help you manage your crops’ daily nutrient requirements.
