Testing Water Electronically.

Hello,

I was wondering if you guys could recommend a probe or meter which tests the
water for the following:

- Nitrite
- Nitrate
- Ammonia
- PH

Any ideas? I hate these damn test kits!!!

Thanks for any help! I am in the UK.

Regards,

Gary.

Electronic meters are superior, sure, but are you prepared for the
cost? I haven't seen one unit that monitors all those things, (not to
say it doesn't exist, due to the money involved I haven't researched
them deeply) but to give you an idea of the kind of money you're
looking at, a decent PH monitor will run you 75 US dollars (about 57
Euros) and up. From my observations, most aquaria-related products
are much more expensive in the UK.

If I could find the right equipment, I would maybe pay up to £200 - £250
(around 300 euro / 400 dollers). Obviously, I would want something which
did all the tests if possible...
They are extremely hard to find, maybe I am not looking in the right places
though...

If you see anything, let me know!

I have inquired about such things in the past and found that nobody has
made electronic tests for the first three. I may have found poor
information, or the facts may have changed since then, but that was what I
found at the time.

The electronic devices are a lot more work than the test kits. I have a PH
and an Ammonia one. The ph has to be re-calibrated every few weeks, and if
the probe dries out, you need to get a new one (40 dollars for that).. The
ammonia one is only good for so long. I dumped the electronic one for this
one:

The other two, the same co thats making the ammonia disk will be releasing
nitrate and nitrite one too

Looks good shame they don't ship abroad though.
