Hey everyone, just got my essentials EC meter today and just tested it on my tap water and it’s reading 0.00. Not getting my calibration fluid till next week. Just wondering if anyone else’s water reads 0.00?
I am going to calibrate once I’ve got the calibration fluid.
cheers
@sub8 not sure mine it like 0.2 think ro water is 0

@sub8 would be extremely rare for a tap water reading 0.00 EC. Try an put just a sprinkle of table salt in a cup of water, stir and check it again. The EC should increase significantly, if it doesn’t there might be something wrong with the meter.

@monkeydo hey, tried good pinch salt and water came in at 1.4.
I’m assuming the next step is to calibrate once I get the calibration fluid.
You have amazingly good tap water
@sub8 yer brother, it obviously has sensitivity so calibration is next and agreed, your water quality must be amazing

@monkeydo received my calibration fluid. So calibrated ec meter and tried tap water I a glass and the ec meter is still reading 0.00. so I’m a bit confused as I thought I would get some reading/measurement.
im still a little unsure about EC as I’m not experienced at all.
cheers
Test all sorts of things. You can even test your PEE, so I've heard. And test the accuracy of your meter and your pee. Monkey will probably have real solutions for you thou.
still reading 0.00
yer that isnt right man unless you get water from a natural spring lol
Have you checked with your local water company website to see what they say the EC should be?
