About Eutech
Since 1990, Eutech has established an outstanding reputation for its range of water quality testing devices commonly used in educational, laboratory, and industrial applications.
Introducing the Eutech EC-PCSTestr35 Waterproof Multi-Purpose Meter
The Eutech EC-PCSTestr35 Multi-Purpose Meter is an entirely waterproof multiparameter tester designed for use in harsh, wet environments. The Eutech EC-PCSTestr35 measures five key water quality parameters:
- pH
- Conductivity
- Salinity
- TDS; and
- Temperature.
Key Features and Benefits of the Eutech EC-PCSTestr35 Waterproof Multi-Purpose Meter
- All in one: Forget carrying multiple meters or bulky equipment; the compact handheld meter measures five critical water quality parameters.
- Streamlined navigation: A single press of the button navigates between each of the five measured parameters.
- Unique design for fast temperature measurements: A unique dome-shaped casing houses the temperature sensor and allows rapid ATC and measurement response.
- Water and dustproof: The Eutech EC-PCSTestr35 is IP67 rated water and dustproof – perfect for use in damp and dusty conditions.
- Floats on water: Your Eutech EC-PCSTestr35 won't fall victim to the sirens call – it floats on water in case of any accidental drops.
- Complete calibration: To ensure the highest level of accuracy from your measurements, the Eutech EC-PCSTestr35 calibrates up to five pH points and three points for Conductivity/TDS/Salinity.

Eutech EC-PCSTestr35 - User adjustable options: The TDS factor is modifiable from 0.40 to 1.00 and the temperature coefficient from 0.0 to 10.0%.
- Temperature compensation: Choose between manual or automatic temperature compensation to suit your unique application.
- Replaceable sensor: When the sensor becomes damaged or degrades over time, it is entirely user-replaceable. There are no tools required, and it’s a fraction of the cost of a new meter. Check out the Replacement electrode here.
