No, this device is solar-powered and uses energy from light to function.
No, it is recommended to insert the probes only when you need a reading to prevent corrosion and physical damage to the sensors.
It works best in loose, moist soil. It may be difficult to insert into extremely hard, dry, or rocky ground.
Ensure the soil is moist. The sensor relies on soil moisture to conduct a reading. If the soil is dry, the meter will not provide an accurate pH result.
The probes are 210mm long, which allows for deep measurement near the root zone.
Ensure the probes are pushed deep enough into moist soil and that you have selected the correct mode on the switch.
Clean the metal probes thoroughly with a fine-grit abrasive pad or dry cloth to remove residue, then re-insert into damp soil.
Setup is straightforward: simply remove the tester from the packaging and ensure the probes are clean. The device is compatible with most soil types, though it performs best in loose garden soil. To maintain the tool, wipe the metallic probes clean with a soft, dry cloth after every use to prevent oxidation and mineral buildup. Store the unit in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid using the probes in very rocky soil or hard clay, as this can bend or damage the metallic sensors.
