HI-98330
The Groline HI-98330 Nutrient Tester is ideal for hydroponics and agricultural irrigation applications. This electrical conductivity (EC) tester allows you to stir and measure nutrient solution in tanks and reservoirs, with a simple 24-LED system on the side of the instrument for easy measurement. As part of our Hanna Groline meter range, this EC tester is designed with ease of use in mind, with no buttons required to test.
The HI-98330 measures EC in ppm with exceptional accuracy to suit the requirements of both irrigation and hydroponics nutrients, making it an ideal addition to a hydroponic water test kit to balance your water for optimal plant health.
Groline HI-98330 Nutrient Tester for EC and TDS
The Groline HI-98330 Nutrient Tester provides a practical way to measure electrical conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solids (TDS) within nutrient tanks and reservoirs for hydroponics and irrigation.
The stick-shaped design allows you to stir your nutrient mix while testing for accurate results, with simple auto on/off functionality and no button operation required to complete the measurement process.

Stir and measure in one instrument
The practical wand shape of the HI-98330 and its rugged design allows you to stir nutrient water when testing, preventing inaccurate results from settled or undistributed nutrients. To test, insert the HI-98330 into your hydroponic nutrient reservoir, stir, and take your measurement with an extended range of up to 6.0 mS/ cm (EC), 3000 ppm (500 ppm scale), and 4200 ppm (700 ppm scale).
Suitable for a wide range of plants
The Groline Nutrient Tester is the ideal choice for plants requiring a higher EC, where accuracy in testing provides insight to take the steps for proper nutrition, promoting healthy plant growth and higher yield. Using a dedicated tester for hydroponics like the HI-98330 offers the accurate measurements necessary to introduce the right volume of nutrients or dilute as required.
The HI-98330 EC Tester is a recommended solution for testing EC in any environment where plants receive nutrients delivered via water, including:
- Hydroponics
- Greenhouses
- Growhouses
- Irrigation
- Sprinkler systems
- General agriculture
Accurate, easy to read measurements
24 LED lights provide immediate visible results from testing EC in nutrient water. When the HI-98330 is placed within a reservoir or tank, in-built auto-on functionality provides an automatic reading on the side of the meter with no buttons or switches required.
The nutrient tester includes both EC graphite electrodes and a temperature sensor to achieve accuracy in a range of environments.
Features
Stirring stick functionality
The HI-98330 has the functionality of a stirring stick and EC tester. Insert the tester into the nutrient reservoir, stir the nutrients and take your measurement immediately with no additional steps required.
Fully waterproof IP67 design
Our nutrient tester features full IP67 waterproofing, preventing damage if it is dropped into a tank of nutrient water. It also floats, enabling quick and easy retrieval from the surface of your reservoir.
Extended EC Range
An extended EC measurement range of up to 6.0 mS/cm (EC), 3000 ppm (500 ppm scale), and 4200 ppm (700 ppm scale) covers the high EC range required by specific plants grown in hydroponic systems.
Rugged and robust
The HI-98330 is designed to be rugged and hard-wearing, making it practical for day-to-day use in monitoring nutrient levels.
Auto-off for optimal battery
An auto-off feature and up to three years of battery life out the box saves costs on batteries and ensures consistent testing over a long period of time. The HI-98330 uses 1.5V AA batteries.
No buttons or switches
No buttons or switches allows for single-handed operation of the HI-98330. Insert it into the nutrient reservoir or tank to turn the instrument on, and remove for thirty seconds for auto-off, without the need to select options or press buttons.
Easy-to-read LEDs and scales
The side of the HI-98330 provides a full scale for EC and TDS printed on the side of the instrument with twenty-four LED indicators, designed to be easily visible under different lighting conditions including grow lamps.
Quick and easy to clean
A detachable crown-shaped cap keeps dirt and dust away from the electrodes when the HI-98330 is not in use. After measuring your nutrient water, run the electrodes under the tap and allow it to dry to clean.
Pre-calibrated at our ISO 9001 production facility
The HI-98330 is pre-calibrated in-house by our team at our ISO 9001-compliant production facility in Europe. The tester can be used immediately out of the box once the protective film is removed from the battery.
