Pros & Cons
Cons
When the actual level is 3400 this device is showing 2200. The problem with this item is that if you find it isn't reading right, you will first assume you're not using it correctly and you'll put it aside.
Highlights
Quality
Easy to calibrate and easy to use overall.
This refractometer is very accurate and easy to use.
Instructions claim it comes calibrated but that is definitely not true.
Easy fix though some distilled water and a quick zeroing in and worked like a charm .
Price
So much cheaper then buying from a pet store and works great!
Shipping
Exactly what i was looking for and shipped quickly received before date they said
Packaging/appearance
Arrived with no damage in a hard-shell case and was pretty much calibrated out the box.
Competitiveness
3000 ppm used by most salt chlorinators is just 3% of the scale with each 1000 ppm visually equivalent to less than about 1/2 mm.
