God I hate manual shaker test kits (>_<)!

What's a reliable digital meter that shows all 3 readings? Preferably portable and Hanna. Price is not a problem.

Thanks much.

Hey Trippy,

If price is no problem, I got the Hanna 9813. I love it. Its very accurate and really easy to calibrate. I think it was about 200 usd.
The only downside is its not water proof, I dont have any problems dropping it in the nute tank, but some of you clumsy growers might want to find a water proof one.

Hope this helps

I personally use the "Tri-Meter". It measures Temp, PH, & TDS. It works great and I got it for $200(CAD). Of course, this wouldn't be suggested if you have multiple reservoirs. I use it in my flowering room, for my main reservoir.

Hey peoples, appreciate the input. I reckon that Hanna 9813 is where I'm heading, thanks Aero. Any last suggestions?

Gudday,
I use the Hanna Champ and PHeP meters ($110 Oz dollars each) for portables and the Grocheck PH and EC ($180 Oz Dollars each). Ive used Eutech meters, NZHI meters and I reckon the Hanna are the most acurate and reliable for the price.

Howdy Oz,

Just did a web search on those meters you mentioned. Few questions please:

~ Do any of them measure TDS? If not what do you use for TDS?
~ Had any experience with the Hanna 9813 or that Trungeon thing from NZ Hydroponics?
~ Where's the best place to order this stuff from in Aus? Hydro shop I guess? A URL would be cool.

Thankyou.

Helo Tripper,
You can get them from Accent Hydroponics in NSW, do a search at google and you should find it. The NZHI Truncheon has all 3 scales on it, including ppm. I use a PhEP for the Ph, the Grochek meters that you mount are real good as they have range indicators, if the Ph goes ot of range they flash at you


Regds,

just the 2 cent routine

Those NZ made trunchoens are the easiest (and laziest) ef,ef,ppm metre that you can easily transport and use, you cannot recallibrate them when their stuffed as their only downside.
I have used mine for 3 years no complaints/still reading right.
Also, the milwaukee ph metres work as good as the Hanna and are cheaper at most outlets that stock them.
