In Review: The Nutri Dip Tri-Meter

In today’s age when everyone is looking for an easy way out, the hydroponic industry is no exception. And why should it be? When there is an easier way to “do it” that gives you more time for other things, take advantage of the opportunity.

The Nutri Dip Tri-Meter is an instrument that offers just that. It has three meters built into one. The device includes a pH meter, ppm nutrient meter, and a thermometer.

I arrived home with the new Nutri Dip Tri Meter, went to the indoor garden, opened the box and plugged it into the wall (the meter not the box). After reading through the brief instruction book I was ready to try it out. This device is factory calibrated and ready to go. The Tri-Meter is easy to read as the three different displays are digital and large enough to read even from a distance.

I proceeded to mix my two-part nutrients. When done I put the pH probe into the mix. Instantly the pH meter displayed a large “5.1.” In went the pH up, a quick stir and again I dipped the probe into the mix - “6.0.” Just what the doctor ordered! It was much easier than messing around with the litmus paper, hoping that the color of the paper was accurate and the pH balance was right. Next I dipped the probe that measures both the nutrient parts per million and the temperature of the liquid. Again I was pleasantly surprised at the instant results on the display. The nutrient meter displayed a ppm of 1440 which was exactly where I wanted to be for the stage that my cherry tomatoes were at. The temperature was at 80°F.

The Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price for the Nutri Dip Tri-Meter is $269.95. It is one of the easiest and most convenient tools of the trade available that I’ve used. The Tri-Meter offers an accurate measurement of the three most important steps in a successful hydroponic garden and is highly recommended. Head to your local hydroponic store to pick one up. You won’t be sorry!
