Simply Koi and More Koi

Hi
I have just purchased a monitor from monitors direct and wondered if anyone else has had experience of these for continual monitoring. They do not look waterproof/resistant, so can they be used continuously outdoors if in some kind of housing?

Hi Shaun
I got an orp meter of them and it was not water proof so i got a plastic container with a lid on it drilled a hole at the bottom for the probe lead and has been fine.

Hi Dave
Thanks for that I thought as much. I will have a look round for something like a weatherproof junction box with a clear lid.

Hi
Finally managed to get the PH monitor sorted, problem was trying to find a suitable weatherproof box that didn't look like a tuppaware container.
Anyway got the box from Toolstation (exact width), the height was determined by the probe BNC fitting. Cut out the box front to match the screen, fix in a piece of perspex with polyurethane sealer (to make it weatherproof), then fit monitor and wire up. The probe has been placed in the 4 gallon tank that follows my vortex/easy.
See what you think

Have you tested it? did it come with any calibration fluid? quite tempted to get one.

Hi
Kit comes complete with calibration sachets to make up fluid. This is the link to their website [url]http://www.monitors-direct.co.uk/ProductDet ... uctID=1159[/url]
I ordered mine from their e-bay shop as the monitor and postage was cheaper.
