its hard to tell because of the language.


The IP57 looks ok.


Just remember to calibrate it weekly using new solution each time.

Do these come with warranty? Milwaukee makes cheaper testers that come with good warranties. One thing I've noticed that helps a ton is getting the pH meter with the probe that is connected with the cord rather than a part of the unit. I messed up a normal pH pen because it wasn't waterproof. Make sure it's waterproof too. Haha.

thank you guys.

the problem is that I can buy from ebay. our corrupted government doesnt allow paypal accounts in our country so that they can rip us while we use other payment terms.

I have to stick to that french website (can be translated).

@jondamon: the one you recommended has some solutions with it. if they are finished I cant calibrate them without the solution ?

i have two Nutradip Tri-Meters. they tell you temp, ppm, and ph. its nice having a constant readout next to your reservoir. i check the calibration with the solution every couple weeks, but they rarely need adjustment, which is easy to do anyway. they will run you about 190 or so in the states.

yeah well im planning indoor DWC so I assume i will need the ppm reader included as well. I found a lab here but looks like they only sell expensive stuff http://www.labotech.com.lb/products/filter.

since we are in a 3rd world country not many options are available using the internet.
