Check the sensors below next to the bulb.

This worked until this month (3 months later) when I noticed that one of the bottom sensors was almost fully seated. Now I have OCD with my grow gear. The lid was put on every day and placed in a box. Everyone. Lonely. Time. I was going to water my plants today and the meter just fell. And fell no matter what I did. The pH was only 0. After making sure no water got in, I wiped it off with a paper towel and carefully opened it up only to see rust forming on the circuit board. The seals were intact. When I took a closer look, I noticed that the sensor next to the glass bulb is either missing or somehow pushed in. So I had to order a new one because I know Amazon won't be replacing it and I'm not even sure if that company will even see it. So when you receive it, PLEASE check the sensors on the bottom. It's impossible to tell how high my pH has been all this time. Maybe that explains a lot of my problems.

Pros
  • Automatic temperature compensation
Cons
  • boring packaging
