hi guys I'm looking at this meter , does anyone have any advice on this please The Protimeter Aquant and the The Protimeter Aquant2 They look the same spec to me Jay
Waste of money mate You need either MMS or tramex or just a hygrometer box Aquant is just a scanner it actually tells you nothing really except where to drill for probes or sick a box. You need an rh% reading to no what your dealing with plus it's British standards
Is the scanner on the mms not the same thing tho ? I have the Protimeter Mini witch I was told a good few years back that that would suffice
The MMS has a scan function yes But also has probe attachment so you can drill a hole and stick the probe into a plug to get a reading in relative humidity Which is what you want You use the scan function to determine the best places to drill holes for your plugs
I know about bs but I'm a contractor and need a fast test to just say yes or no on the day of fitting tbh , if the first test is dry then that's fine if it's wet it's not my problem and I can pass it on . Does that make sense
Well if you scan and it's dry do you still drill and plug abd return and take a reading? Ok so no then it's that or nothing
Scanning does not tell you if a full sub floor is wet or dry Only the small part you scan and only near the surface where you scanned it So no it tells you nothing really. If a job blows due moisture and you get the blame coz your scanner said its dry and it ends up in court you haven't got a leg to stand to stand on
Tramex is probably best for what you want, you’ll still need to do multiple test on a floor though to dertermine if it’s dry enough.
