Hanna Instruments HI-981421-02 Groline 24 Hour Hydroponics Monitor for pH, EC/TDS and Temperature for in-line applications
The Groline HI-981421 monitor provides 24 hour continuous monitoring of pH, Conductivity (EC or TDS), and temperature in hyproponic nutrients.
Quick to setup and simple to use, this monitor was designed with hydroponics, aquaponics, and greenhouses in mind.
Make your nutrient solution easy to manage with the Groline monitor and combined pH/EC/temperature probe.
Instantly view all measurements
The versatile display of the Groline monitor allows for three screen modes. The LCD can display all three essential hydroponic nutrients measurements at one time, a 3-second cycle of single measurements, or a real-time graph screen with options for measurement selection and log recall.
Monitor changes over time
Fluctuations in your hydroponic nutrient solution can have lasting effects on your plants. The Groline monitor automatically logs every 15 minutes for 30 days, and stores min, max and average values so you can recognise when patterns arise and help prevent future problems. For review and storage, use the USB-C to easily transfer data to a flash drive or PC using a cable. Files are exported as .csv.
Grow with confidence
The Groline monitor frees up your time by doing the testing for you. Simply set high and low alarm levels – if your hydroponic nutrient solution moves out of range a measurement error will display. A quick look at the large display will let you know if your nutrient solutions needs adjusting.

About the Inline probe
The supplied HI-1285-9 multiparameter probe measures pH, EC and temperature in one convenient, rugged probe.
A solid-state preamplifier is integrated into the probe to protect the pH measurement from transient electrical noise. Sources of electrical noise include ballasts used in lighting and pumps to circulate water and nutrient solutions. The HI-1285-9 incorporates two graphite EC sensors for reliable conductivity readings.
