He’s an easy target haha
Aww love you guys to
So it turns out the calibration fluid for my ph/ppm pen has been recalled and calibration is not possible. I managed to get Amazon to issue a refund. I know which ppm pen you suggest @dbrn32 but which ph pen? I have the cheap $10 yellow one from Amazon (sorry @Nicky) Do you recommend a reasonably priced ph meter?
This is same manufacturer

I hoping for less $$
How do you post your cool looking Amazon link? Is that a privilege I have yet to aquire?
The ph pen i currently use is apera sx620 i think. I’ve only had this one for little over a year though, and seems pretty good. My super cheap tds tester has worked fine, but I would spend a little more on ph tester.
Sooo, many testers out there. Dang
Looking at Milwaukee since mainly it’s not made in China lol
This is what I’m thinking about. It’s more in my price range @dbrn32 @Nicky @newt
Milwaukee Instruments PH55 pH Waterproof Dual Level Temperature Meter, Pocket-Size, -2.0 DegreeC to 16.0 DegreeC Temperature Range, 0.1pH Resolution, 38 mm Diameter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008932BNE/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_6TKVXYZBNDFS1210S2G2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I don’t think you’ll go wrong with that.
I agree I think that work work well.
The reason I like the apera kit is that it comes with ph calibration fluid.
All metres should be calibrated at least once a month.
I have several packets of powder. There’s one for $64 that comes with 2 packets. Do you think the premix fluid is better than powder.
Reading all this, I never realized pens should be stored in “storage fluid” So I was thinking $61 for the pen and $13 for the fluid. I have enough powder for a few months at least
Made in Romania
I’m. Sure both will work.
I bought the apera PH 20 kit because it comes with everything I’ve had it for 3 years. I don’t store mine in storage fluid lol I lost the cap.
Compare the ph20 kit to thr pen your looking at. The kit comes with enough fluid to last you the life of you ever growing u think lol.
I just dunk my pen right unit the bottles to calibrate it.
Might be less hassle to get thr kit even if it cost 20$ more…
Ok, thanks. I’ll take another look
Is this the one? It comes in a case with calibration fluid but it’s actually cheaper…
APERA INSTRUMENTS AI209 Value Series PH20 Waterproof pH Tester Kit, ±0.1 pH Accuracy Amazon.com
the combo kit for $77 looks interesting
Yes the combo kit is what I have! Buy that.
Don’t lay the little bottles down sideways thought they leak from the cap.
I just dunk my pen in the bottles and calibrate.
I’m on it. You sold me
I actually convinced Amazon to refund my money 6 months after last return date. But that’s pretty much BS they are still selling a pen that can’t be calibrated. The manufacturer doesn’t respond, they just directs you back to Amazon
Hopefully they still have plenty in the states
