The Reef Factory KH Keeper is a brand new automatic water testing machine for keeping a close eye on reef aquarium alkalinity levels. This swanky new reef gizmo is an attractive device with a small footprint but which is packing a high concentration of technology inside of it.
The KH Keeper from Reef Factory reminds us of the Alkatronic in many ways, using the same pH-based titration method to determine the buffering capacity of aquarium water samples using a simple pH probe. Interestingly however, Reef Factory has streamlined the KH Keeper to只要be an analysis machine so it doesn’t dose buffer to raise alkalinity as needed.
It’s very nice to see a high tech aquarium device like the Reef Factory KH Keeper work standalone but if you want to automatically adjust alkalinity you will need to connect it to the Reef Factory dosing pumps. At just ?€595 the KH Keeper is cheaper than the Alkatronic but more expensive than the KH Director but the feature set is not exactly the same.
Reef Factory is quite justified in promoting the low price of each test costing around three and a half cents based on the price of a one liter reagent solution. Like all of their products the Reef Factory KH Keeper is wirelessly connected and a supporting app gives users instant visual representation of their alkalinity values to compliment the internal glowing LED colors of the unit itself.
我们仍然不知道有任何美国公司在北美市场上分发KH饲养员或其他礁石工厂装备,因此我们的欧洲礁家庭是第一个测试并享受这台新机器的家族。令人兴奋的是,在自动碱度测试方面有更多进展,我们希望这只是朝着我们的礁石坦克迈出更便宜,更可靠的碱度控制器的又一步。[[Reef Factory]
