Has Neptune discontinued their salinity/conductivity probe?

[BlindGirlReefing]

Returning to the hobby after a hiatus and it seems Neptune Apex salinity probes are nowhere to be found. They are out of stock everywhere. Have they been discontinued?

What's my best alternative for salinity monitoring? I can't see refractometer (legally blind) and I use a Milwaukee tester with the help of a sighted person for mixing, but I liked having a method I could use with computer screen magnification so I could also keep track independently. Thanks in advance for any advice.

A salinity probe from Ali Express works as a direct replacement. Took about 3.5 weeks to show up (in US).

These appear to be sold out. Do you know of any others that might work? Thanks

Not salinity probe related but have you tried Ai or accessibility functions on a smart phone? It’s a lifesaver for things like this. I use voiceover on iOS with the “seeing Ai” app (I believe it’s available on Android too), but the newer phones with Ai built in can do it as well. I just say “Siri, recognize text” (you have to setup Siri Shortcuts for that, otherwise you have to flip through the app itself) and then point the phone at my Milwaukee salinity tester (Hanna checkers too!) and she reads the display out loud for me. It’s fantastic!

We still have the Neptune branded probes in stock.
