I'm looking to pick up a new pH and TDS tester. I've had hanna portable testers in the past and I'm not satisfied. I'm looking to grab something that I won't have to replace, if taken care of, any time soon.


What is your favorite quality pH and TDS/EC tester?

thanks yo-

bluelab truncheon

i just got one in the mail today because i wanted the same things you do. 5 year warranty, no calibration, throw it across the room and it's still working. this is the way to go! got it on ebay for $99 shipped.

Google the "ISfet PH meter" had it for two years now and not one bit of trouble. Stores dry also. It has a silicone chip instead of glass electrode. Very durable. RB

i have the nutradrip tri-meter for aabout 5 or 6 yrs now never had a problem stays calibrated for long periods of time

the only downside to my bluelab is it will take a ppm of over 50 for it to register anything. this is only a downside when monitoring my ro water to see when to order replacement filters. i have another one i can do that with and if it reaches 50 my plants will be just fine i would just like to catch it at like 10 and replace them because i'm anal.

Hava a Hanna combo pen that does PPM and pH. Not very reliable. Switched to two Oakton pens for pH'ing my water and get much faster, more consistent, and accurate results.

Bluelab Truncheon will not let you down Ive even had water pour into the meter & it still works (my fault).

I just picked up the HM Digital TDS EZ and the Milwaukee pH600 pH Tester. Under $40 shipped.
