Updated: I did a test with distilled (which I use) and tap water. The tubemeter reads all over the place with distilled water. Works fine with a glass of tap water.

Yes I know that pure water does not have enough Ions to conduct electricity but distilled water does, just not as many (it's damn hard to create pure pure water).


Is there a way to calibrate this thing for distilled water?

Here is the version info after I've plugged it into the USB on the motherboard and running Aquasuite 4.72 since it supports tubemeters directly. \


The Firmware is 1.07

OS is 1.01

Hardware is 1.01

Serial# 02870

Production Date: 02/2008

Flash counter: 0001



According to Aquasuite, this is the latest firmware available.

Ok, the new beta 12 of 2012 supports basic reading from the Tubemeter now (but only if it is on the Aquabus low, did not find mine via USB).



So I moved it back to Aquabus and have a graph going. Level goes from 33-56% randomly. Averages out at 44.9 with a max of 255% (I've seen a few spikes that caused that).



Still not reading accurately or stable.

Well I gave up, must be buying really pure distilled water here. So I ordered a bottle of AC (Anti-Corrosive) from Aquatuning and followed the 2% as per the german on the bottle lol. So 1.8L of water = 36ml of AC.

Appears to be working now, meter shows 70% (Danger Den Monsoon res and 1/8 to 1/4 adapter doesn't let the meter sit fully immersed. Hence why I wanted the ability to tune what is "100%".

Still get the same issues other people get, random spikes to 255% and down to 0%, otherwise happy at 70%.
