Checker® pH Tester with 0.1 pH Resolution
Designed to bring simplicity to pH testing during the any process, the HI98103 Checker® pH Tester is designed for direct measurement. A replaceable electrode extends the life of your tester.
- ±0.2 pH accuracy
- Comes with all the necessary solutions and batteries- everything you need to get started measuring right away.
- Great for environmental, field, and laboratory testing.
Better Features for Better Testing
An onscreen stability indicator ensures the highest level of confidence in your results. The selectable auto-off feature prolongs battery life for peace-of-mind and energy savings if the meter is accidentally left on.
Pocket Sized
The compact size makes the HI98103 Checker® pH tester ideal for on-the-go testing. A large LCD display provides at-a-glance readings from any angle and single button operation streamlines the testing process for any user.
Long Battery Life
The included CR2032 Li-ion battery provides up to 1000 hours of continuous use. The battery icon will blink to let you know it is time to change the battery so you never miss a measurement.
Replaceable Electrode
Your measurements require detailed attention; so should your electrode. The HI98103 features a replaceable electrode that is ideal for general pH measurements.
Tapered Electrode Design
The supplied HI1271 pH electrode is 103 mm long and tapers to an 8 mm diameter at the sensing end to easily fit into test tubes, vials, and other containers with a small opening.
Plastic Body
The plastic body is significantly reduces necessary maintenance.
No-hassle Replacement
Don’t let a broken electrode stop you from testing. Simply unscrew the old electrode, and screw on a new one.
INCLUDED
We believe that buying a tester should be simple. Your HI98103 Checker® pH tester is equipped with everything you need for successful testing right out of the box.
Electrode Cleaning Solution
Your Tester comes with cleaning solution that has been engineered to keep your electrode free from build up. This concentrated combination of detergents cleans your tester quickly and effectively so that your tester stays in optimum condition.
pH 4 & 7 Buffer Sachets
When performing a pH calibration it is important that the correct buffers are used. We include some start buffers to get you going. The single-use sachets are individually sealed so you use fresh buffer each time you calibrate.
Storage Solution
Proper storage of your electrode will ensure reliable measurements and a long electrode life. Our storage solution is specially formulated to keep the pH glass hydrated while minimizing organic growth.

Collapsible content
LIGHT
LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.
MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height.
HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.
FLOW
LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.
MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.
HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.
SKILL
ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.
While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
