ppm/ec meter

[thelaughingman]

Hey there all, is anyone familiar with the ppm meter on ebay seems decent. not a big fan of using a mini-screwdriver to calibrate.
what would you recommend?

Lol. There are lots of ppm/ec meters on ebay.
But from your very very vague description. I wanna say its a yellow n black Milwaukee ???
If so. I have used them. For 14-25$ they work. Some last yrs some last months. My last ph meter from them lasted 1yr. N started going weird. I've kept it as a back up. But not as my main. Went with bluelab for new one. Love it. Great tool.
I do still have my ec meter. Which still works perfect. But....... If your a serious grower step it up a lil. The end result will save grief. From my experience.

Link finally worked. Lmfao. Looks like a knock off of a nutridrip.

looks similiar to my nutradip trimeter, but at half the price. at that price i'd really wonder about its quality and durability. better check the calibration frequently

I like HM Digital TDS meters. Better than Milwaukee and very reasonable price. I have been using mine for years. A search for HM Digital will pull up lots of info.

Had a Hanna PH meter once, crapped out after a month or two.. c`est la vie.. I like the nutradip despite it uses a Philips to calibrate, Ill get a warranty this time

my 1st ppm/ec ph meter was a used $50 bluelab tri meter in 2010
the PPM part went out last yea,
the ph part still works
from the serial number it was made in 07....
so the ppm/ec lasted 6 years and the ph part is still rockinit 7trs later
needless to say i got a bluelab ppm pen as a replacement, love using it

btw
checked the 7yr old Ph pen in calibration solution 2 days ago...dead on 4.1
buy quality equipment and you'll save in the long run

my hanna ph meter was great never let me down, purchased a cheap ph meter off ebay tested it in solution and it was perfect, tested my feed cool 5.9 next day plants were white and checked it agian it was 1.2ph.

take your time save the money and buy good equipment it will be cheaper in the long run.. i saved and i got a blue lab truncheon and its the shit.. EC, PPM on both scales

You get what you pay for and that tri meter in the link is about as cheap as it gets...

Blue lab truncheon from NZ is gr8 bud,no calibrating...
