I use a Milwaukee Digital myself because it's easier, but with one major caveat... They say to only use their calibration fluid (which you get a tiny bottle of when you buy it), but you can't buy it anywhere. Also, my calibration fluid bottle was .006 off.
I sent my meter in for warranty repair and it worked properly, it was the fluid that went bad after a while.
Just contact the support dept a few times per year and ask for the calibration kit. They will mail it out to you at no charge. They are very helpful people. It comes with all the stuff you need to recalibrate it. Also dont forget to clean it every so ofter with a little vinegar and rinse the pan out well afterwards.I use a Milwaukee Digital myself because it's easier, but with one major caveat...

By the way never use RO water to zero it. RO water most always causes the meter to be calibrated improperly. Thus messing up your reading.
Milwaukee digital. I calibrate once a month.
I talked to the technician at Milwaukee instruments and he told me to " use steam distilled water only to calibrate it". He also said for me to "NEVER use RO water to zero the meter." If you have some sort of issue with those statements then simply call them and try to convince them. I am doing what he told me to and i have never had a problem since performing the method he suggested.
He's simply wrong.
What you are doing isn't incorrect, but the statement that RO/DI is not suitable is incorrect.
As an aside, many technical reps that support the products we use do not fully understand them.
Hey Randy... I know what it says in the instruction book and have also talked to the technician that repairs broken units. They don't want people using RODI water because they can't guarantee that people are using 0 tds water and may throw the calibration off. Which is why they now say to use distilled, which guarantees 0 tds, even though it's not in the manual.
