![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | All of these items can be compared and priced by simply doing an internet search for "pH meter"....., pH pen, etc. Ebay is another place to compare and price out meters. However, they may not always have the best price. In my area (NY), there's not much of a point in shopping for these types of items in the hydro stores. They're massively over priced by 300/400%! Be cautious of some low end meters as well. Ebay is full of them. These meters aren't good for much more than the swimming pool. Ebay does have quality meters available. I bought my last meter there, and paid 50% less than the next best price I'd found. | ||
