PH meter recommendations, please.

Post by mbarn » Sat Sep 10, 2016 6:29 pm

Hi.
I'm overwhelmed with all of the choice, and lack of reviews. Any advice?

My budget is ideally sub £50, but if that's difficult to get anything worthwhile, I'll stretch to £100.

Thanks in advance.

I've got a Hanna HI98127. Works great but I no longer think I have any need for it. Used once so mint condition. You can have it for £50 delivered. PM if interested.

The cheap yellow ones work if calibrated every time.

Thank you.
Price is different, that's why I asked.

I'm just waiting for the temp to cool down so I can brew again. Looking forward to trying my PH meter out

Have been very pleased with mine. The replaceable probes have a finite life (as do most) but mine has lasted a few years so far and still calibrates fine.
