Instant Ocean SeaTest Hydrometer Information



Test and monitor the salinity and water quality of your aquarium water efficiently and effectively with the Instant Ocean SeaTest Hydrometer from Pet Store. This measuring tool is a must-have for aquarists, whether beginners or experts. It allows them to determine if the water environment of their pets is safe conveniently. This also helps them correct the factors that contribute to the cause of poor water quality and improper levels of salinity.

This hydrometer comes in an improved design that enables it to deliver better performance. It can precisely gauge and reveal full-range salinity of the water and its specific gravity. It is so sensitive that it can read up to 0.001 accurately at all times. The hydrometer features an easy-to fill-container that prevents dripping when filling, keeping your hands clean and dry while testing the water. It comes with a durable, stable needle mount and a dual-color scale, which is simple to read and understand. The "safe zone" and wide stabilizer base allow you to gauge the water quality faster and react more appropriately when they indicate dangerous levels of salinity.

The Instant Ocean SeaTest Hydrometer is perfect to use in water with temperatures ranging from 68°F up to 85°F. It can be used in tanks of all sizes and quantities of water.

Instant Ocean Hydrometer`s new improved design delivers precise full-range salinity and specific gravity readings - accurate to 0.001 - every time. Easy-fill convenience keeps hands dry when filling. It has a durable, permanent needle mount and easy-read 2-color scale with "safe zone" and an extra-wide stabilizer base. Ideal for use in water temperatures of 68 - 85°F.

Instant Ocean SeaTest Hydrometer Reviews

"Gets the job done." - Product Review by James Peterson (Posted on 7/3/12)

Great!

Comments: Mine worked great, I have a Digital refractometer as well and have tested it against the more accurate refractometer and was always dead on. The big complaint is you have to slowly fill it and then knock the bubbles off, and there is always a bubble or two that doesn't want to let go leaving me fighting to get it off. If you can't afford a refractometer (I highly recommend the Milwaukee) I would highly recommend this product otherwise buy a digital and save yourself some time and probably money as you may end up buying one anyways. Otherwise this hydrometer gets the job done as long as you follow the directions.

Comments: This is a Lemon stay away. after taking it home and trying it i found it was way off from 4 other tests on the same water sample. when they read 2.24 it read over 3.0. and severl stores told me after the fact they stopped carrying this because that very reason.

"Effective" - Product Review by Gary Enos (Posted on 5/16/08)

Great!

Comments: Use correctly for best results. Rinse in fresh water, fill slowly to eliminate bubbles. Tap before you read. I have had this hydrometer for 15 years and test everyday. I consistently get results that have been confirmed with other arm reading devices. Refraction is best...however this one is an easy to use, suitable for daily use tool.

"Great once you get hang of it" - Product Review by Materson Zeno (Posted on 5/9/08)

Excellent!

Comments: I bought this hydrometer, and at first had problems with getting inconsistent and high readings. The trick is learning how to get the water in without bubbles sticking to the pointer. If you slowly lower it into the water with the semicircular part facing down (i.e. long flat side on top), then rotate it into the vertical position while underwater, then gently take it out, it comes out bubble free and quite accurate (I found it consistently reading 0.001 lower than a refractometer). So for the money, it is great, unfortunately it is not operator error proof.
