Pinpoint salinity monitor?

Anyone use it? Good/bad/ugly?

Love it!
Cant use the power adaptor because the interference from other 'stuff' in the circuit makes the readings drift.

Use batteries, remember to turn it off, keep the probe cleaned and calibrated- you will love it too.

Ditto to the above. Keep it calibrated and cleaned. Calibration takes approximetely 2 minutes so its not a time consuming task.

I use the battery and spot check tank and new salt mixes.

Good purchase but stay away from the calcium monitor as it is a very poor instrument.

Thanks and good luck.
