I'm considering investing in continuos ph/tds monitors for my next grow and I have a few questions. First off, are there any monitors which can be used to measure two reseviors with one meter which dont cost more than two seperate meters? Second, what continuous meters do people with experience recomend? I'm using hanna pens right now and they're working out fine, but I would like to not have to open up my reses as often and also be able to check my levels without actually having to open my cab (for instance when I get home after lights out). Also, if any are cheaper but still effective, I'm interested in hearing.

 | Since my current grow, I use a Hanna Gro-Check Combo. It measures EC and pH. This is the first time using it but I do love it. There is a picture on page one of the Durban Poison thread in my signature. If you share a reservoir, I suppose one meter will do. My meter does not measure multiple reservoirs.

| I've tried the continuos monitering PH pen fron NZ hydroponics.It was terrible;unreliable,very slow reading,the batteries fell out the back if you did move it and then it would need recalibrating in at least 4 and 7 buffer. Personally I'd stay well clear of them in the future,for my money I'd stick with the NZ EC truncheon and a cheap Aquapal ph pal. dev

... Milwaukee ph, ec, ppm meter with great success. Never had to calibrate it in the year I`ve had it. Check it once in a while and it`s right on. As far as the continuous models, you`d think they woud have a build-up on them requiring cleaning every few days. I store my meter in a fresh batch of storage solution after EVERY use... JG
