Manufacturer Info

American Marine Pinpoint Aquarium Supplies
American Marine was founded in 1989 by a devoted aquaculturist who was passionate about quality and precision. Back in the late 80s, critical water quality parameters were mostly tested with colorimetric test kits. Some digital instruments were borrowed from university or laboratory sources with mixed results but always a high price tag. Expensive European aquarium equipment was always a disappointment when it finally arrived. Inexpensive "pens" gave no better results than color test kits and prematurely failed even when testing for approximate readings.

Using the most current technology and design, American Marine introduced Pinpoint Monitors, which have become the most respected line of digital instruments in the aquaculture business. American Marine was the first to introduce a 2-year warranty on each and every monitor. For every purpose, from a goldfish bowl to a salmon hatchery, Pinpoint Monitors are called into duty every day because of their rugged design, precise readings and reasonable cost. American Marine has sold Pinpoint Monitors on every continent. Each monitor is powered by a standard 9 volt battery that is available worldwide.

Useless Product

Comments: I bought this "monitor" in April 2012. It never functioned as advertised nor was it even close to reliable. Measurements differ substantially from one sample over just a few minutes. Manufacturer also fails to disclose that reading needs to be multiplied by 4.4. When Lou Dell (the owner) asked to correct problems, he attributes every defective product issue to "user error". He also requires purchaser to pay all shipping costs to return the product to him for “further testing”. I would rate this American Marine product as "expensive junk" just like all other of the Pinpoint products. Just check out the many reef blogs which rate this product the same. Buyer beware!!!

Comments: I've tried using this for about 8 months now. 90% of the time I got an error message. When it did register a number I was not confident in its accuracy as it could not reproduce it twice in a row. Even after recalibrating it every time with the standardized solutions it could not even read them back when I tried to use them as a test run. I sent it back to Pinpoint Marine 3 times and although the rep was very nice and prompt he could never find anything wrong with it. He had some helpful hints on how to use it but I still get error messages 90% of the time. The other monitors are great but unfortunately this one is not worth the price.

Comments: I purchased one less than 8 months ago and every time I try to recalibrate I get an error message er_p. When I go to the AM web site it seems there is no way to contact them to return it for testing! I will order new calibration fluid and try again and if that doesn't work give up. Right now I trust the chemical test method more!

Comments: Like the pinpoint and saliity monotors. This device is not intended for continuous 'monitoring'. I was needing to calibrate it before each use and found it taking longer to calibrate and run my tests than it does to use my standard chemical nitrate test kit. So there is really no time saving here. The obvious major advantage over chemical nitrate test kits is the digital readout. Like most, I find color charts difficult to read. IMPORTANT - DON'T GET IT WET!!! Mine died from a small amount of salt water splashing on the display. I don't think I will buy another one because of the high price.

Comments: I took a risk to try this probe out. Problems are that it does not hold its calibration and that you have to recondition the probe before each use. On avarage it takes at least 30 minuits to get a result. Not happy! Sometime in the future Ill compare the results in my lab with an IC.

Comments: Outstanding knowing exactly Nitrate levels in aquarium and effluients of reactors. Probe must be kept very clean to be sure to get proper reading

"As always my experience with Marine Depot was 'overall satisfaction.' If on the phone, by video or the write-in reviews on the product I am interested in, they are always helpful. When I am in doubt of what product will help me or where to find it, Marine Depot is usually the first and last place I go to."
