Used Milwaukee ph meters for many years in aquatics. I have no complaints. Bluelab is a step up imo.

I have a question. Probably a stupid one. Every time I check my PPM, so I have to rinse with distilled water before testing run off PPM? Thanks.

Doesn't need to be rinsed for our use but it won't hurt. I just rinse mine in some tap doesn't need to be distilled. The important thing is don't store it in distilled water use storage solution and don't let it dry out.

I'm currently using a ph test solution, so going to a meter is a huge leap ahead...
Bluelabs is twice as expensive so i just wanted to make sure I wasn't buying something disposable like 'Amazon pH pens' that are cheap and you get what you pay for...
With the pH solution, it says 3-5 drops, but as you add more, the color changes, so your "reading" moves as you add drops.

Usually they are 5ml of water and x amount of drops. It's important to be as close as possible. One thing you will want with a probe is calibration solutions.
