Milwaukee Digital Seawater Refractometer MA887
| Installation and Operation |
Piece of cake to setup...install the included 9v battery, zero with some RO water and you're ready to go. Instructions for the unit are pretty straight forward.
|
| Performance vs. Expectations |
Performs just as advertised and as I would expect.
|
| Value for money |
I've tried one other digital SG "probe"...it was worthless! This one is pricey as compared to a standard refractometer...but it's so easy to use that I still consider it a "good value".

| Customer Support |
No problems so no reason to contact.

| Liked about it |
1. Very easy to use.
2. Seems to be very accurate.
3. The entire unit appears to be water-proof, or at least water resistant...even the battery cover has an o-ring so it is sealed.

| Didn't like |
1. For the price it would be nice if they included a bottle of "reference" solution and a pipette...not a huge issue for me as I already had a bottle of 30ppt solution and a myriad of small plastic syringes.
2. The battery cover is a bit hard to get on and off...but how often do you have to change the batteries, so again not really a big issue.
3. More of a tip really, butthe unit seems to be easily effected by ambient light...when testing using 30ppt solution I was getting 29ppt...covering/shading the "prism" with my hand yields a consistent 30ppt result...I don't know that a cover would be practical, but a very bold and prominent note in the instructions would be nice...I mean, let's face it, who tests their SG in the dark!
