I have heard a bunch of complaints about the less expensive hanna meters. I like the Oakton basic ph tester ($75) and the truncheon blue lab ec meter ($125) personally. Make sure you keep your equipment clean and calibrated if you want accuracy. Those liquid ph testing kits work great too. But they are a bit tedious if you have a good digital.

Don't get the truncheon ph tester, it has issues. But the blue lab ec/tds meter is the best on the market. It's actually a pretty cool little toy...

Also:
When you say drops do you really mean like pool droppers or actually go to a hydro store overpay and get the same thing basically?
Why so against meter Faux?

Anyone got any ideas on what to use out there other than what has been posted so far???????????????????????????????
How about a pH meter and ppm meter that isnt made by Hanna!?!? Anyone?
I'm still havin' problems with mine and its just a basic Hanna pH meter.
I dont even know what my fuckin' pH really is at this point!
I check my resi and pH is a little low so I add some pH up and it reads lower the next time I test!!!!!!!!!! WTF!
So I figured fuck it before I really screw something up to just stop and hope my plants like what they get until tomorrow when I can get something else that actually works!

Please Please Please help me out here I need something that works. . .thanks everyone

happy tokin'

I paid $160, but that link I posted sells them for $117...

Totally 100% happy with mine...

Lots of people using these.. continuous meters usually last longer as they do not dry out...
