Is there a digital tester that test for everything? Nitrites, nitrates, ph, and so on. I found this one, but it doesn't do Nitrates and nitrites. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-PH-PPM-Temp ... 5648f19569 |

Ive never heard of any helomech, if there is Id imagine they would be very expensive as it would be in a lab type situation. |

Thanks I found one that does nitrates. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/p ... ce=message I thought I saw on here somewhere that someone had a computer hooked to all kinds of sensors. But I can't find that either. I have been testing my water with strips, but they seem to all read different. One said my PH was 7, the other said it was over 8.4. Starting to hate those strips. |

Yep, pretty pricey and then you need to buy the nitrate reagents on top of that. You could buy a API test kit from BYAP. |

I am hoping to get one that stays in the system and can be looked at at a glance. I am gone for work every other week and my wife will not test the water. But she would look at a display. |

I have tested my system exactly ZERO times since it was commissioned about 4 months ago. Testing daily or even weekly is not a must. |

I have only tested mine a few times in the 4 months I had mine also. But sure would like to be able to walk up and look at the readings even if it is once every other month. |
