Bluelab Combo Meter Plus with Leap pH Probe | pH, EC + Temperature

Bluelab Combo Meter Plus for Root-Zone pH, EC and Temperature This is a handheld meter that reads three numbers at once, wherever the roots actually are. The kit pairs a meter body with two probes on 2 m cables. One is a spear-tip conductivity and temperature probe that never needs calibrating. The other is a Leap pH probe built to push into growing media. pH reads from 0.0 to 14.0 with ±0.1 accuracy. Conductivity shows as EC from 0.0 to 9.9, or as CF, ppm 500 (TDS) or ppm 700, whichever scale your feed chart uses. Temperature covers 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C) at ±2°F, displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Automatic temperature compensation keeps the conductivity readings honest as solution temperature drifts. The backlit screen stays readable under a dim canopy or in a dark reservoir room. It runs on two AAA batteries and switches off after four minutes idle. The box includes pH 7.0 and pH 4.0 calibration sachets, a KCl storage sachet and a dibber for opening a hole in firm media. Using the Leap pH Probe in Soil, Coco and Runoff The Leap pH probe is what sets this kit apart from a reservoir-only meter. Use the dibber to open a hole in moist soil or coco, then slide the probe in. It reads pH where the roots are feeding, not just in the runoff. Coco growers often check the slab, the drip and the runoff in one pass and compare all three. That pattern shows salt buildup or a drifting pH well before leaves start to complain. In a hydro system the same probes drop straight into the reservoir or a sample cup. Calibrate the pH side with the two included sachets before first use, then again on a regular schedule. Keep the probe tip wet in KCl storage solution between sessions so it stays responsive. The conductivity probe needs no calibration at all, which saves time on a busy feed day. The honest limit is probe life. The meter carries a five-year warranty, while the Leap probe is covered for six months as a wear item. Plan on replacing the pH probe periodically, especially with daily use in dense media. Key Features Three Readings in One: pH, conductivity and temperature come from one handheld unit, so a full check takes a single pass. Leap pH Probe: A toughened tip pushes into soil and coco for direct root-zone pH readings. Calibration-Free Conductivity Probe: The spear-tip EC probe goes straight into media or solution with no calibration routine. Selectable Units: Switch between EC, CF, ppm 500 and ppm 700 to match any nutrient chart. Automatic Temperature Compensation: Conductivity stays accurate as solution or media temperature changes through the day. Long Probe Cables: 2 m leads reach the back of a bench or the bottom of a deep reservoir. Five-Year Meter Warranty: The meter body carries a five-year limited warranty.
