What is the purpose of pH- and conductivity meters?

A pH-meter measures the degree of acidity or alkalinity in a water-based solution. The pH-value is determined by the ratio of the hydrogen ion [H+] and the hydroxyl ion [OH-] concentrations. The pH-scale ranges from 1 to 14, where pH < 7 is acidic, pH 7 is neutral and pH > 7 is alkaline. PH-measurement devices are used for a wide range of applications, from lab experimentation to water quality control.

An electrical conductivity meter or EC meter measures the electrical conductivity in an aqueous solution. It verifies the substance’s ability to conduct electricity over a certain distance. The higher the acidity or alkalinity, the higher the electrical conductivity. The conductivity meter is often used for applications such as hydroponics and aquaponics to examine the amount of nutrients, salts and impurities in the water.
