That difference decides whether your plants can absorb what you're feeding them. The Vivosun Digital pH Tester replaces the guesswork with a clear number. It measures the full 0.00–14.00 pH range at 0.01 resolution and ±0.1 pH accuracy, and Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) keeps readings reliable whether your reservoir runs cool or warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalibration takes one button. Press \"CAL\" for 3 seconds in a buffer solution and the meter calibrates itself, with support for one-, two-, or three-point calibration at pH 6.86, 4.00, and 9.18. The HOLD button locks the reading so you can pull the probe out and read it comfortably. Memory retains calibration through battery changes and power interruptions. A large backlit LCD stays readable in a dim grow room, and auto-off timers (60 seconds for the backlight, 5 minutes for the meter) extend battery life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 6.23\" long and just 1.8 oz, the tester fits in a pocket for checks anywhere. Beyond hydroponic reservoirs and nutrient mixes, it's equally useful for drinking water, pools, spas, aquariums, and brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 20px 0;\"\u003e\u003cvideo src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/8ff7083a2ca6459e96e28f2ed1dd80ba.mp4\" style=\"width: 100%;
