AQUSOFT 5-in-1 Digital PH Meter with Voice Function | High Accuracy PH,TDS,EC,Salinity & Temp Pen | Waterproof & Rechargeable PH Meter for Swimming Pools,Aquariums & Hydroponics | Fast Water Tester

I decided to measure my pH, TDS, EC, Salinity, and Temperature of my tap water (straight from the sink). I also decided to measure this by the water filtration method we are using (Zero Water - pitcher)I did a couple of scenarios as in my baseline tap water cup. The second one was a current cup filled from a previous filter change. This means it had multiple refills of the water and our current pitcher being used. So probably like 3-7 pitchers already drank.The other test was from a new separate zero water pitcher that has had only one single drain using all 64ozs. I've labeled it as SINK, PITCHER A & PITCHER B each of the pitchers filters had just been changed and I wanted to have a separate comparison for each. I do want to see this tested again after the filter is ready to be renewed (as Zero water suggests it at 006ppm)I really am surprised that the basic tester Zero water gives you is actually good enough just to show you how much bad or good it is working. I did notice that the tested I used which had the ability to test multiple ways was by far a better method and way more reliable andrs accurate in my opinion. Below is the list of tests I have found for my own personal experience and test. I suggest you check it out yourself. Especially when you talk about the difference between the SINK water and the water from the SHOWER/Bathroom Sink. It'll open up your eyes as to why the bathroom was irritating the SKIN for some of the people in my household. I would recommend getting the AquSoft tester & the Zero water filter for drinking. Aside from reverse osmosis filters, this is hands down the best option for those on a budget and are very interested in their own health. The tester itself is built to last, includes a cap to protect itself. Easy to use and the voice assistant was a nice bonus!

This AQUSOFT 5-in-1 Digital pH Meter is proving to be one of those handy gadgets you don’t know you need until you have it. I initially got it to test drinking water, but curiosity got the best of me, and before I knew it, I was testing my pool, checking my wine (because science), and basically running a full-scale chemistry lab in my kitchen.The device is straightforward to use, and the readings appear consistent and accurate. The voice function is a nice touch—it announces readings out loud, which is useful when you're trying to keep an eye on something else (like not dropping the device into the pool). The fact that it's waterproof and rechargeable makes it a practical, long-term solution for anyone needing regular water testing.If you just want a basic pH test for tap water once in a blue moon, this might be more than you need. But if you’re serious about monitoring water quality for pools, aquariums, hydroponics, or even homebrewing, this is a solid choice.• ✅ Good = Qualifies as a selling point• ➖ So-So = Not great, but also nothing resembling a showstopper• ❌ Not Good = Could be a showstopperMy star ratings, which tend to skew upward due to limitations in the 5-star system, are further elaborated in a decimalized scoring at the end of the review.Finally, although some items have been freely offered via the Vine system, I refuse to sell out and will never allow a vendor to influence my scoring through any means other than the quality of the product, both on its own and in relation to the current pricing at the time of my review. I value the efforts of other honest reviewers and wish nothing more than to pay their efforts forward in hopes of faithfully guiding others to informed decisions.The Good:✅ Highly accurate readings – Covers pH, TDS, EC, salinity, and temperature with precision.✅ Easy to use – Calibration is simple, and readings are displayed clearly on a backlit screen.✅ Rechargeable via USB – No need for disposable batteries, which is a big plus.✅ Waterproof and durable – IP65 rating makes it safe for various water environments.✅ Voice function for hands-free use – It reads results aloud, which is surprisingly handy.✅ Calibration powders included – Ensures long-term accuracy.The So-So:➖ Slightly bulky design – Not a dealbreaker, but it’s larger than some other pH meters.➖ Takes a little time to stabilize readings – Can take up to 10 minutes to get final results, depending on the water source.➖ Basic instructions for battery replacement – It mentions the battery can be replaced, but doesn’t explain how.The Not-Good:❌ No adjustable stand or clip – You have to hold it steady in the water, which can get tiring during longer tests.The DetailsIf you need a multi-functional, accurate water tester that’s built to last, this one delivers. The inclusion of multiple measurement functions (pH, TDS, EC, salinity, and temperature) makes it useful for hydroponics, aquariums, pools, homebrewing, and general water safety monitoring.The USB charging feature is a welcome upgrade over battery-powered models, and the voice function is a nice touch for hands-free testing. I particularly like the high-contrast backlit screen, which makes it easy to read results even in low-light conditions.It’s not the cheapest option out there, but considering the accuracy, durability, and convenience, it feels like a worthwhile investment for anyone who needs regular water testing.Final Verdict⭐ Final Rating: 4.8/5 – A well-made, feature-packed water tester that’s accurate, easy to use, and practical for various applications.
