I want to test the ocean water with this before taking my family surfing, can this read the ocean water?

You should contact the company direct for this answer. they will send you a procedure by email for measuring the sea water with out damaging PRM 9000. this thing is not water proof so please don't risk damaging it and contact the Manufacturer .

I don't believe so. As far as I know, it records and displays current readings only.

Yes, it is. It is called a "dual triode" tube, so both signals pass through the tube. I love my ocean, hope you will too.

It does measure speed over land no matter how fast you are going. It does not take into account current so depending on how strong the current is your actually trolling speed may be different. For instance, my boat has a speedometer but it measure how fast the water goes past it. My speedometer and the Lowrance don't always read the same because the Lowrance reads how fast I am actually moving in a given direction. Hope that did not confuse you more :-)

Most pet stores sell some type of bottled or boxed ocean water that has been purified. You can use this to calibrate the device because ocean water always has a specific gravity of 1.026. I recalibrate every time I use my refractometer to ensure the most accurate results.

I am not sure. I think so , but I have only used it in coastal waters off Florida.

I haven't tried it for that. It can go into water but I don't think it'll record the distance well.

Yes. If you're using the wireless transducer you don't use the suction cup one. Works from the shore by casting the wireless unit from a fishing pole.

For water, you could use this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Web-Based-Water-Metering-with-ioBridge/

hello . yes it will certainly detect the ring if it were me i would run the all metal mode first . if the ring is in water dont let the control box get in the water. it must stay dry. not sure about salt water searching though, probably not the best choice for the wet side of the salt water beach . hope this helps and good luck !

The module is not waterproof, but u can put the probe in the tank and it will work fine.

Not really. It's most useful for chlorine levels that are in the goal range for a pool. It does give a rough estimate of PH and CYA (a pool thing) content. Doesn't test for bacteria etc, and not even that precise at what it does measure.

Certainly. It will read the surrounding temperature -- in air, in water, in bread or wherever else. The one I have is quite accurate. It reads 212 degrees F in boiling distilled water at about a sea level elevation.

You can't test the water right away. Have give it time to circulate. About 1 hour later you can check and you should have results.

Yes, but you can only have a few options. The transducer needs to be in the water in order to work.

It will work. Device detects water in fluid. Very good result in various cases

Yes you can but its not the best in that environment. You would ground balance and drop the sensitivity down a bit but your depth will suffer. It will NOT beat a PI (pulse induction) detector or a multiple freq machine like a Minelab CTX3030 in that regard. It IS however an exceptional machine other wise. Just know that it suffers a bit when in actual salt water or wet (salt water laden) sand. It is excellent in fresh water however. -- I have both an AT Pro and a CTX 3030 but I only have the CTX 3030 mostly for my beach detecting.
