Waterproof, Shockproof and Rechargeable Water Quality Meters

Sper Scientific (USA) has introduced a new line of handheld waterproof and shockproof water quality meters that are rechargeable, and float if dropped in water. Called AquaShock, the new meter line is not only IP67 waterproof, but is the first to feature waterproof probe attachment points that also accept standard (non-waterproof) BNC probes.

According to company President Devin Sper, “the probe connection point has always been a vulnerability of other meters claiming to be waterproof. The probe is either non-replaceable, or the meter is not truly waterproof when the probe is connected, which defeats the purpose.”

AquaShock meters feature a screw-down, waterproof housing surrounding the BNC probe connection. When a waterproof connection is not needed, any BNC-connected probe can be utilised.

AquaShock meters are also shockproof, and feature a “soft-grip” surface to help prevent accidental drops. Other features include a large, backlit LCD display, 99-memory review, min/max/ave, internal clock and calendar, C° & F°, auto-ranging, and automatic temperature compensation.

There are currently four AquaShock models available, all with five-year warranties, measuring pH, mV, ORP, DO, conductivity and TDS.
