Exact mulit-parameter meters
There are two very similar models, but with key parameter differences, the iDip and the iDip 570.
eXact iDip 570
The new eXact iDip® app provides complete wireless connectivity between the iPhone®, iPad®, iPod Touch® and Android® with a photometric device. Data is seamlessly transferred between the two devices when paired with the iDip® photometer using Bluetooth wireless technology that syncs and transmits test results in real time. The application stores the test results history of multiple water sources. Data can be shared via email and the built-in GPS feature allows for easy retrieval of water testing locations.
- Built for water quality testing aquariums, ponds, and
water features - Customize the app with only the tests you need
- Add notes and share instantly via email, excel
spreadsheets and via Twitter and Facebook - Test parameters such as Ammonia, Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness, pH, Chlorine, Iron, Nitrate, Phosphate and more!
The app comes with 4 tests installed including pH, Free Chlorine, Combined Chlorine and Total Alkalinity. Over 20 additional parameters are available for in app purchase, making the eXact iDip® 570 nm a truly customized experience.
Available as METER ONLY or as eXact® iDip® 570 Aquarium Starter Kit (486107-AQ)
eXact iDip® 570 nm METER ONLY (486107)
Packed in a slick white box, including:
eXact iDip® 570 nm Photometer
Cleaning brush
Instruction manual
6 tests of each:
- Total Alkalinity
- pH
- Free Chlorine (DPD-1)
- Combined/Total Chlorine (DPD-3)
App is available free on the App Store or Google Play.
iDip App
Introduction to the app: https://youtu.be/k1yKxOCpoFY
The iDip range is calibrated through the phone app.
The iDip meter range is waterproof, floats, is calibrated through the phone app, no blank is needed, uses 4 x AAA batteries, and updates occur through the app: https://youtu.be/dz49EoL89pU
Capability – test parameters iDip570
The eXact iDip® 570 Aquarium Starter Kit
Kit includes reagents for:
- Ammonia
- Total Alkalinity
- pH
- Total Hardness
- Nitrate
- Phosphate
- Over 35 additional parameters available
The eXact iDip® 570 photometer is perfect for measuring the water quality for aquarium/aquatic life in both fresh and marine water settings. Using the patented eXact iDip® Smart Photometer System, the meter is the first and only to integrate 2-way wireless communication with a smartphone/tablet. The multilingual app is the brain of the system which allows limitless possibilities including lab accuracy, free upgrades, test parameter customization (with 12 available at launch, 13 in the works to be released at a later date, and many more to come), mobile sharing, and data organization.
