The Hanna Instruments HI99192 is a durable, waterproof, and portable pH and temperature meter designed specifically for measurement of drinking water. Automatic calibration is performed at one or two points with two sets of buffers. All calibration and measurement readings are automatically compensated for temperature variations.
The HI99192 uses the FC2153 glass body, amplified pH electrode that offers numerous features which improve pH testing of drinking water. The split-level LCD displays both pH and temperature readings, along with indicators for reading stability, battery percentage, and calibration instructions.

The pH of drinking water is a vital measurement. If the pH is too low, drinking water will be corrosive to the distribution system and water pipes in homes. The pH of water also influences other properties including taste, odor, clarity, and efficiency of disinfection. In the United States, the pH of water is determined by a meter according to EPA method 150.1 and Standard Methods 4500-H.
Measuring pH of water low in minerals is difficult. The lower the mineral content, the less conductive the water will be. Low conductivity water presents a challenge since the pH meter is an electrochemical system that relies on the solution being measured to be conductive.
