Product Description
Test pool and spa water with professional accuracy using the Hanna Instruments HI981304 Pool Line waterproof combo meter. This 3-in-1 handheld tester measures pH, EC (electrical conductivity), and TDS (total dissolved solids) with laboratory-grade precision, designed specifically for swimming pools, hot tubs, and spas.
Key Professional Features:
Waterproof and floats: IP67 rated design floats in water for easy poolside testing without worry
High-accuracy pH: ±0.05 pH accuracy with 0.01 pH resolution and replaceable HI73127 electrode
High-range EC/TDS: Measures 0.00 to 20.00 mS/cm EC or 0.00 to 10.00 ppt TDS for complete water quality analysis
Selectable TDS conversion: Choose 0.45 or 1.0 conversion factor to match your testing protocol
Automatic Temperature Compensation: Built-in ATC ensures accurate readings across temperature ranges (0-60°C / 32-140°F)
Graphite EC/TDS probe: Amperometric sensor reduces polarization effects and resists oxidation for long-term reliability
User-Friendly Design:
Large LCD display: Shows stability indicator, low-battery warning, and calibration tags for confident measurements
HOLD button: Freeze readings for easier recording and documentation
Auto-calibration: One or two-point pH calibration with standard buffers (4.01/7.01/10.01 or 4.01/6.86/9.18)
Battery Error Prevention System (BEPS): Alerts you before battery depletion affects accuracy
Auto shut-off: Conserves battery with 8-minute auto-off (approx. 100 hours continuous use)
Lightweight and portable: Only 100g (3.5 oz) for easy one-handed operation
Professional Applications:
Essential for pool service professionals, spa maintenance technicians, aquatic facility managers, and residential pool owners who demand accurate water chemistry monitoring. Perfect for routine maintenance, troubleshooting water balance issues, and ensuring safe, comfortable swimming conditions.
