Digi Mate 3in1 Meter Temperature/ Specific Gravity Meter/Salinity Meter
I never had a meter, a guy on our chem from was asking about one. I looked at the
instruction manual and its operation. The meter is calibrated using table salt. Table salt is not seawater when dealing with EC meters. Density is also not SG. That table may be a NaCl SG or a NaCl density table. It is not a seawater table of any kind. Their 5-40 ppt is not seawater salinity it is NaCl or table salt salinity and they are not the same. When the meter is calibrated by their means, 35ppt on their meter is not 35 ppt NSW but 33. 5 NSW . The Sg on that meter is also useless. You calibrate that meter ? With what, table salt, correct, NaCl , that is not = to the salt in seawater buy a long shot. Well they may not be happy if they knew there salinity and SG is low. Is it that far off, no but it is not doing as claimed. You can fix that meter if you want . Get a PinPoint 53 mS calibration solution and adjust the meter so it reads 35 ppt....fixed. That SG will still be useless. You should be able to see that if you flip the switch to SG once calibrated correctly to NSW.

You can fix that meter if you want . Get a PinPoint 53 mS calibration solution and adjust the meter so it reads 35 ppt....fixed. That SG will still be useless. You should be able to see that if you flip the switch to SG once calibrated correctly to NSW. I will not say 1.026 NSW SG So you can fix this meter by using 53mS calibration solution and set 35ppt or 1.026 on the meter - whatever reading you prefer on your daily routine.

"So you can fix this meter by using 53mS calibration solution and
set 35ppt or 1.026 on the meter - whatever reading you prefer on your daily routine." 53mS yes, Sg 1.026 no.The meter is trying to make a preset electronic conversion based on NaCl.to the density or SG. They do not tell you which one it is. You would have to have a seawater sample with a know SG of 1.026 then you could set it to Sg and the ppt would be off "BTW - most reflectometers sold for this hobby have also the scale calibrated to NaCl not sea water... What is a reflectometer, there is no such thing :-).........refractometer. Yes, BTW, you learned that from me, just like this meter This is not a refract but a EC meter, big difference. Not all refract's are off just so you know. The so called blue refracts, the most common in this hobby, happen to be right on based on tests. Didn't know that did you ? That is because they are off from the factory for a NaCl solution, which by luck ends up being right on to NSW. "I would deem meter as useless if I would not be able to calibrate it. If every measurement would read different, random value..." That is something you won't know unless you test it. Your logic makes about as much sense as saying you have a pH meter and it can only be calibrated to work from 7.8-8.2 pH, 9 no deal, 6 no deal..... buy it anyway. "I a meter has a constant offsets and I know what offset it is, (33 instead of 35ppt) than what is the big deal ? I do not get it." The offset is not constant throughout its scale. EC meters do not use a constant scale when converting the value uS to ppt or TDS. The scaling is non-linear. The non-linear scale being used is dependant on what TDS value you are using, NaCl, KCl, 442, Seawater, alcohol, surgar, brix, etc. The meter would have to be set to a seawater scaling to convert from uS to ppt. If the meter measured the value only in uS or mS there would be no issue. That is why there is a company that makes a EC meter in uS, ppt, Sg for seawater to the tune of almost $600. To do all of this correctly you need multipoint calibration points. When I buy some meter of any kind, for a function, I expect it to read what it should. For the price and what it gives and the issues it has yes, IMHO useless. I could find a PinPoint for that price. The company could make the corrections to this meter and for its cost would be a very nice meter. I would want one. Many people say SeaTests swing arms are also useless.......so are they.......

If you can properly calibrate the meter using 53mS Pinpoint solution on a ppt setting to match 35ppt than with the same solution you can calibrate it on the SG setting turning the screw to get 1.026 reading. Is this correct or not ? If it is, than you can calibrate the meter TO ONE SETTING and do not switch it later. You just pick whatever unit your prefer in your routine. One aquarist may prefer maitaining the tank to 35ppt, other to 1.025 :-) "BTW - most reflectometers sold for this hobby have also the scale calibrated to NaCl not sea water...

Yes, BTW, you learned that from me, just like this meter Why so important is it for you to point out a typo, or from whom somebody learn something ? Focus on the subject... please. This is not a refract but a EC meter, big difference. Not in this conversation subject. We were discussing how insignificants are constant offsets you can always subtract from the final reading... Not all refract's are off just so you know. The so called blue refracts, the most common in this hobby, happen to be right on based on tests. Didn't know that did you ? That is because they are off from the factory for a NaCl solution, which by luck ends up being right on to NSW. The point is, that most of them (except blue one) show values also calibrated for NaCl, and this does not stop aquarists from using them... So what is the problem with this Digi Mate ? "I would deem meter as useless if I would not be able to calibrate it. If every measurement would read different, random value..." That is something you won't know unless you test it. Your logic makes about as much sense as saying you have a pH meter and it can only be calibrated to work from 7.8-8.2 pH, 9 no deal, 6 no deal..... buy it anyway. I do not understand above... We read here that the meter is stable after calibration, that it requires calibration about once a month, which is reasonable. That readings are repeatable... On top of it, a reef tank needs constant salinity, so I do not care that the offset vary in a wide range of the meter scale - I talk about using this meter for reef tank. Knowing that it is calibrated to NaCl you can apply constant offset to the reading, exactly as for the refractometer, or calibrate it with 53mS Pinpoint solution TO ONE UNIT only and stick with calibrated meter. If you calibrate it to 35ppt using Pinpoint, and then measure 35ppt in your reef tank it will simply mean your reef tank has proper water salinity. If you measure less or more than 35ppt then you adjust salinity. Do you agree with above ? The offset is not constant throughout its scale. EC meters do not use a constant scale when converting the value uS to ppt or TDS. The scaling is non-linear. So we eliminate the problem by not switching between SG and TDS - we stick with calibrated 35 ppt and within close range around 35ppt (where the reef tank should be) the offset will be constant. The non-linear scale being used is dependant on what TDS value you are using, NaCl, KCl, 442, Seawater, alcohol, surgar, brix, etc. The meter would have to be set to a seawater scaling to convert from uS to ppt. If the meter measured the value only in uS or mS there would be no issue. That is why there is a company that makes a EC meter in uS, ppt, Sg for seawater to the tune of almost $600. To do all of this correctly you need multipoint calibration points. You do not need this kind of meter for a reef tank. You most likely use it with some laboratory environment... When I buy some meter of any kind, for a function, I expect it to read what it should. When I buy some cheap meter for a application I expect it to work withing application. So if you assume you cannot get a better meter for $60 for a reef tank, than what is this whole fuss about ? It works great for a reef tank! For the price and what it gives and the issues it has yes, IMHO useless. I could find a PinPoint for that price. The company could make the corrections to this meter and for its cost would be a very nice meter. I would want one. How Pinpoint meter is better ? And where you can get it new for $60 ? Many people say SeaTests swing arms are also useless.......so are they....... I like swing arms :-) I do not need anything better for a reef tank salinity. |

And, its maybe also a bit wrong to call it a "3 in 1 meter", from a certain point of view... "BTW - most reflectometers sold for this hobby have also the scale calibrated to NaCl not sea water...

"I am affraid you did not understand my point..."
I understand your point quite well. It is you not understanding the point . Do you have a owners manual, I do. "If you can properly calibrate the meter using 53mS Pinpoint solution on a ppt setting to match 35ppt than with the same solution you can calibrate it on the SG setting turning the screw to get 1.026 reading." It is not an SG scale, how many times do I have to say that. I just looked at again, it is a Density scale not an SG scale and density does not = SG...try to pay attention :-) Density an SG are also not really linear. They claim it is a true seawater SG and it is not.... get it. They also claim it will accurately measure seawater salinity and that is false advertising. The also claim it was made for NSW and synthetic seawater, so you are grossly being mislead. That makes me wonder what else may be wrong with this meter. Can you turn the screw, OK there Psezmol what is the density ( NOT SG) of seawater @ 79 F at 33 ppt. I'll give you a day or two to tell me that. Could you turn the screw to just get a reading of 1.026 ? Sure. . Do you have allot of time. Each time you switch from ppt to SG you must wait 10 sec, when you switch back you must wait another 10 sec. That means each tweak of the screw is going to take 20 sec. Now why am I telling you this ? Per instructions it is only suppose to be calibrated in the ppt mode. Meaning, that when in the SG mode the cal screw may do anything. You would have to write the manufacture or we could ask the guy here selling them. If you can turn the screw great BUT should one try to cal it that way ? All you are doing is guessing, to try and defend the sale or use of a poorly done meter. Not my cup of tea. I'm tired of people in this hobby getting ripped-off or getting bogus info. I guess that is Ok with you . "Focus on the subject... please." The only one not focusing on the subject is you . It was you that brought up refracts, so try to stay focused on the subject, as you claim. The subject is EC meters "So what is the problem with this Digi Mate ?" Let me repeat myself again. It was designed, is sold and advertised as meter to accurately measure seawater and synthetic seawater. It does not do that. Refracts in this hobby are not designed and don't make claims to accurately measure and give the SG of seawater. They are just salinity refracts, NaCl "I do not understand above... " You could you not understand that ? Let me try to be more simple then. Buying this meter is like buying a pH meter where the meter only works if the pH is between 7.7-8.2 but you bought the meter assuming it worked throughout the pH range. In your mind this is just fine a ducky so have at it. I do not know of anyone that would do that and this is the same issue with this meter .. When people go out and buy something in this hobby, they assume it is accurate or fairly accurate. They do not go out and buy things assuming the are not accurate and off. Maybe you do....This meter as advertised is way off. "If you calibrate it to 35ppt using Pinpoint, and then measure 35ppt in your reef tank it will simply mean your reef tank has proper water salinity" Yes, at that value. What if someone has other tanks, a FOT at 29 ppt a Red Sea tank at 40 ppt then what. Do you know what the offset it is. I already told you it is not linear, as it is a conversion of uS to ppt NaCl and uS to ppt NSW is not the same. So what, suppose to recal for each ? They could have easily done this with this meter for seawater at no extra cost. It could have run a full range of NSW salinity, within reason. Why not ? That is what I tried to tell them. I was hoping I would get back a reply like the new model would be fixed. It would be a very nice meter. "So we eliminate the problem by not switching between SG and TDS - we stick with calibrated 35 ppt and within close range around 35ppt (where the reef tank should be) "the offset will be constant" Please READ the above again. This is a EC meter NOT a refract. It is NOT measuring uS but giving TDS by conversion from uS. This meter will not be constant, accept in a narrow range and that is not what the meter is suppose to do. It is suppose to be a full range meter, that is what you paid for. If the meter gave only uS the it would be constant.....get it. Do you even actually now what TDS /ppt really is in meters. ? That is why allot of us do not like TDS meters, it does not give a "real" value of TDS, it is a crude approximation of TDS. Meters should just be left as uS or mS, no mis-reading, no confusion or guessing. Meters do not have a clue what the TDS is. It is measuring conductivity, the reciprocal of ohms and trying to convert it into a weight measurement. The meter/s, that have TDS/ppt, have a pre-programmed curve. That curve is for one solution ( unless it is multipoint meter), i.e., NaCl, KCl, Alcohol, Seawater, etc. The conversion of uS to ppt//TDS at 30 ppt is not the same as it is at 35 ppt, it is non-linear. So, the pre-programmed curve is made non-linear for that specific solution so it is more accurate at its "guess" of TDS. "You do not need this kind of meter for a reef tank." Who the hell said they did wake up and go back and re-read my post on what they could have done "How Pinpoint meter is better ?" Their meter does not measure TDS/ppt but mS it is not converting anything to TDS/ppt "And where you can get it new for $60 ?" I have seen 1 or 2 on e-bay "I like swing arms :-) I do not need anything better for a reef tank salinity" And so do I and you and I always seem to be defending them. The whole point here Pszemol is the meter does not work well at all out of the box and it is not a SG scale in the meter but a Density.scale . Yes, one can get it to work within most reef tank ppt, say 33-37 with a 53 mS cal solution. Would I recommend to buy on, no, a refract has allot much lees pain and are cheaper with allot less error and dicking around this meter has. With all the dicking around needed for that meter to me it is useless. When Randy took a look at it he had the same opinion as me. If one already has the meter then I would do my best to make it work better, reason I gave the 53 mS solution for re-calibration it. Finally, something you do not know. This meter does not come with a 35 ppt NaCl calibration solution but 30 ppt, which means more headaches for those that have them and don't know about EC meters.You would have thought they would have had a least a half a brain and used a 35 ppt NaCl solution, which would have less error. I find amusing that you or anyone is trying to defend a meter with all its countless problems, offsets and errors. -- Boomer If You See Me Running You Better Catch-Up Former US Army Bomb Technician (EOD) Member; IABTI, NATEODA, WEODF, ISEE & IPS Want to talk chemistry ?

What is not factual. I agree with Pszemol. His e-mail address tells you nothing. You said do a search on it. Implying it can not be found anywhere. That is a direct imply it is not real. You said look at the name before @gmail, another imply it is fake . What is fake about Princetank or not factual, as Pszemol and I would like to know. If you screwed up Wayne just say so, we all make mistakes here. The worst thing one can do when they screw up and they know it, is to try find a ways to spin something so it looks otherwise. That does not add credulity, it takes it away. We have done this allot on this NG in the last year, me included. I'm tired of it. I will not reply to this post or my last one to Pszemol.
