IceCap Salinity/Temp Digital Tester V3

IceCap Salinity & Temperature Digital Pocket Tester — Version 3 (SKU: IC-SPT03)

The IceCap Salinity/Temp Digital Pocket Tester V3 (SKU: IC-SPT03) is an authentic, laboratory-grade mobile water diagnostic tool distributed by CoralVue to bring absolute measuring confidence to marine reef keepers and breeding facilities. Maintaining a stable, locked salinity baseline (typically 1.025 SG or 33–35 PPT) is a core requirement for the long-term survival of delicate stony corals, macro-algae, and sensitive marine fish. Traditional analog refractometers require users to view lines through blurry daylight lenses, calibrate constantly based on room air temperatures, and perform guesswork between tiny scale intervals. The IceCap V3 Digital Tester replaces this outdated method by passing micro-electrical currents through an isolated water sample to provide a precise, high-speed calculation shown directly on a clear digital readout.

Engineered with an updated Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) motherboard, the IC-SPT03 actively scales sample readings to account for ambient fluid temperature differences. The testing pen allows you to cycle through three separate measuring formats—Specific Gravity (1.000 to 1.041 SG), Parts Per Thousand (0 to 50 PPT), and Practical Salinity Units (0 to 60 PSU)—alongside standard Fahrenheit or Celsius water temperatures. To keep readings stable, the unit is programmed with an audible buzzer that beeps when a final measurement is calculated and locked. Housed inside a rugged, water-resistant casing powered by two standard AAA batteries, the IceCap V3 Pen is an accurate, long-lasting replacement for traditional hydrometers and optical tools.
