Milwaukee vs Apex for Orp

[Rundmc2016]

Just bought an Avast Mutiny Ozone Reactor v2 and a Poseidon 200 Ozone Generator. My Apex orp probe came in completely dry and it was purchased too long ago to return. So the question is...

Do I just buy another Apex probe for $85 or just buy a Milwaukee MC510 PRO Digital Redox ORP Controller for $141?

Pros for Apex
Cheaper, pre existing equipment, integration in fusion, seems to do the job for many people

Cons for Apex
Already failed once, questionable history for support. Replacement probe is $85

Pros for Milwaukee
Reputable/reliable sensor and controller company, replacement probes $67, interfaces well with ozone generator

Cons for Milwaukee
Higher up front cost, no remote monitoring of orp.

I guess the question is which do you need more: remote monitoring through the Apex or integration with the Ozone reactor?

Anyone use the Milwaukee or Apex that can chime in?

I guess it would be good to have an idea of how often the ozone runs, so plus one for Apex

I personally run mine through the apex. 1 probe is apex, and another is brs. Both are double junction. I wanted the ability to control remotely if needed.

for ozone and ph,
Milwaukee controller paired with Neptune probes

spend the extra money for more reliable readings

I ended up with going with Milwaukee. Their orp reading was only 20 or so ppints off from what the old dried out neptune probe said.
