Hikari® Aquarium Solutions® AccuProbe™ Hydrometer
The Hikari® Aquarium Solutions® AccuProbe™ Hydrometer measures a wide range of specific gravity and is intended for marine aquarium use.
Before using for the first time, fill the hydrometer with saltwater from your aquarium and allow it to sit on a level surface for 24 hours to season the measurement needle. This hydrates the calibration disc to its original specs and will provide the most accurate readings going forward.
Salt deposits may accumulate on pointer and will result in inaccurate readings. If salt crystallizes inside your unit, soak in lukewarm water or vinegar for 30 minutes, rinse with fresh water and air dry.
- "Dry hands" design avoids contamination of aquarium
- Measures a water sample at 6" depth to avoid inaccurate surface sampling
- Accurate to 0.001 specific gravity and salinity
- Designed to give a temperature-corrected reading in warm water aquariums
- Durable construction for extended life
- Includes self-leveling hanging device

- Submerge hydrometer approximately 6" below water line
- When water reaches fill line, remove hydrometer and place on level surface for accurate reading
- Avoid air bubble adherence by gently tapping hydrometer to dislodge air bubbles.
- Read specific gravity on inside scale and salinity on outside scale.
- Rinse with fresh water after each use to maintain optimum accuracy.
