Review: Easy to use, mostly accurate, impressed with its performance compared to commercial equipment - Very impressed with the capability of this instrument for less than $20. When compared to our commercial quality (YSI) equipment, the inexpensive device performs really well. Unfortunately, calibrating with distilled water was not a good 'zero'. Once calibrated against the YSI, the meter then held its own. My suggestion is to calibrate it once, then use it for measuring relative adjustments in salinity. Or, mix your own PPT by salt and water weight (see youtube) then you can get your tank back into its original condition, but you may not know precisely what your salinity PPT is. The meter is quick and easy to use, so maybe measure the pet shop's water then make yours match whatever reading you obtain. :-) ## Features - DESIGNED FOR - testing the concentration of saltwater, help you to monitor and control the concentration of salt water. - WIDELY USE - Can be used for Aquariums, Marine Monitoring, Agricultural, Gardening & Educational Purposes. - EASY , ACCURATE & AFFORDABLE - This refractometer is more accurate and easier to use than traditional hydrometers, more affordable than digital refractometers. - DUAL SCALE -- Provides reading of 0-100PPT(parts per thousand ) and corresponding specific gravity range 1.000 to 1.070. You can get the both result at just one test. - AUTOMATIC TEMPERTURE COMPENSATION --The build-in Automatic Temperature Compensation feature makes it get consistently accurate reading, no need to control the liquids temperature deliberately, just make sure it's at roomtemperature . ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01L2OX9KA | | Best Sellers Rank | #168,801 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #253 in Aquarium Test Kits | | Date First Available | September 11, 2016 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 3.68 ounces | | Item model number | 8541957181 | | Manufacturer | Xindacheng | | Product Dimensions | 7 x 1.5 x 1.5 inches | ## Images ![Aquarium Salinity Refractometer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WFnizrcML.jpg) ![Aquarium Salinity Refractometer - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61U769qWR3L.jpg) ![Aquarium Salinity Refractometer - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613NZrvVGML.jpg) ![Aquarium Salinity Refractometer - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aZdEHEJxL.jpg) ![Aquarium Salinity Refractometer - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713q0cWANqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly *by T***L on May 17, 2025* This product does exactly what it says easy to adjust to zero and stays consistent 1000 times worth the money!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use, mostly accurate, impressed with its performance compared to commercial equipment *by G***N on December 21, 2021* Very impressed with the capability of this instrument for less than $20.

After getting this, I calibrated it against deionized water. After using it on my first mash, I got a reading that was off by about 0.020 (1.050 reading instead of 1.030). Later on, playing around with deionized water, sugar and salt, I discovered that this instrument is very accurate with salinity but not very accurate with dissolved sugars when compared to a hydrometer (LD Carlson 5451). I don't know why or how this could be but it is. Various concentrations of sugar solutions were off on the refractometer compared to the hydrometer, and the greater the concentration the further off the reading. [I did correct the readings for temperature and they were still off.] However, when I tried the same experiment with a salt solution the readings were exactly correlated. Looking back at the product pictures, I see now the scale reads "salinity" with no reference to "wort". I cannot figure out how there would be a difference between specific gravity of salt vs. sugar solutions, but based on my home-experiments with this refractometer, there are. I suspect this would be very good for aquariums. For now, I am going to replace this product for when that is specifically advertised for homebrewing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/34873298-aquarium-salinity-refractometer](https://www.desertcart.in/products/34873298-aquarium-salinity-refractometer) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
