Information about the scales available on the Bluelab Truncheon® Nutrient Meter English CF and EC CF and EC are measures of electrically charged nutrient ions in a solution. Pure water will not conduct electricity. Water usually conducts electricity because it is full of impurities, in our case, electrically charged nutrient ions. The two black dots on the end of a nutrient probe are called electrodes.
