If you had to get a pH meter, what brand?

[Doctorgori]

I already know the yellow ones are junk. Who uses one on the job? what brand do the professionals use? How much?
Any recommendations under $100 ?
What about probes?

I’ve had their salinity pen about 3mos now and I like it....50 bucks...hmmm

IMO, brand is not nearly as important as the attributes. Should have two (or more) point calibration. If it comes with a probe, a double junction is best, and a plastic body is less likely to be broken by you.

Do you have a recommendation on one? I have a hard time telling the colors sometimes.

I've had 3 of these now. I don't know if I'm excessivly clumsey or just unlucky, but I've broken all 3. Last one I broke a couple of weeks ago. Was pulling it out of the case and slipped out of my hand and fell maybe 3-4 feet onto a rug and stopped working. Obviously not recomended to be dropping these things, but I'm thinking I'm just going to have to find something else. Worked really well before I broke them all though

neither, they are. genuinely cheap as are thos ubiquitous yellow or red pen type pH meters that use those. weird calibration standards like 6.86 .....

I’m probably gonna having to end up pulling the trigger on a $90 pinpoint I think

pinpoint,digital,and reliable

+1 Pinpoint.

I have a milwaukee with an apex probe and an old hanna from hydroponic days. Both work equally well.
